Mental Health Awareness provides informative and interactive training, seminars and workshops to raise awareness of mental health issues in the corporate sector, mining sector as well as schools.
Our goal is to get people in the workplace to be aware of what mental health is, how to see early warning signs in themselves and/or others they work with, then to know what to do about it. Sometimes extra support is needed for people in the workplace to deal with the demands of their jobs.

Our courses are very price competitive and we can accommodate up to 15 participants in a course.
We have courses ranging from 2 days, 1 day, half day, 2 hours and 1 hour.
