We’re rewriting the story of workplace wellbeing

While there’s currently no defined legal requirement for supporting MHFAs, ongoing government discussions suggest that this may change in the near future. When considering the risks associated with a poorly supported wellbeing network, one significant concern for organisations is the potential failure to address foreseeable issues. This means that if an organisation is aware that MHFAs are struggling and the role is impacting their mental health, failing to establish a support system around them could be viewed as negligence in court.

Secondly, if a MHFA provides inadequate advice or guidance to an individual in distress, the organisation may face significant implications, assuming vicarious liability. For instance, if a MHFA’s advice is seen as a key factor in an individual taking their own life, the employer could be held responsible.

Finally, public cases regarding these risks are often scarce due to their sensitive nature and the presence of non-disclosure agreements. Nevertheless, our experts in Health & Safety and Human Resources have encountered numerous situations where improved training, ongoing support and the implementation of proper systems within the network would have been the solution.

We can, but we don’t recommend it. Our platform addresses two of the most common core challenges organisations face: engagement and tracking impact. However, we understand that, from a data perspective, the platform may not be an option for every organisation. While you can provide support separately, we often achieve the best impact when it’s implemented as a whole.

Absolutely! We can offer consultation sessions along with an engagement webinar to help give you confidence when developing your network of MHFAs and Champions. We can also provide resources on how to identify and train the right people, in addition to delivering the training for you. Wherever you are on your journey, we’re here to assist.

We’ve kept our pricing simple. Instead of variable pricing with licensing, we base the cost on the size of your MHFA network. This means straightforward pricing that you can easily budget for the year. We also offer flexibility in payment frequency; you can choose to pay the fee annually, quarterly, or monthly. To get a dedicated quote for your network today, please get in touch.

We support organisations from various industries, ranging from pharmaceutical companies to construction, each with its unique procurement process. While we can’t provide exact timeframes, we work diligently on our end to ensure a smooth transition for you. This is support that your network and you deserve, so we’ll do everything we can to make it happen.

Unlike an EAP, our support is specifically designed for MHFAs, Champions, and individuals within an organisation who support others with mental health. It’s built on the supervision model, which means we provide bespoke guidance and support to individuals within their supportive role. This includes debriefs after difficult conversations with colleagues, guidance on how to initiate conversations with someone they’re concerned about, and even support on how to provide referrals or set boundaries. This isn’t counselling for your network; it’s supervision support specifically designed for them. It’s accessible within 24 hours, one-on-one, Monday to Friday.
