Mental Health Responder (MHR) training

Mental Health Responder (MHR) training

We train selected members of staff, to become mental health responders, who are able to:

• identify signs and symptoms of distress in colleagues;
• become trusted first points of reference for psychological health in the workforce;
• provide up-to-date information on how to access psychological help; and
• support colleagues-in-need to find the appropriate help.

Grespi’s MHR training and expert back-up support are an integrated feature of its full range of medically-led, specialist mental health services. This is in contrast to stand-alone mental health awareness training programmes, including Mental Health First Aid courses that equip individuals with an elementary understanding of mental health conditions but do not provide a support system for participants to use that information safely thereafter.
