Mental Health Training

Training built by people who’ve lived it, not just studied it

Changing Minds Training is a Redhill-based training provider specialising in mental health, suicide prevention and neurodiversity, working nationwide. Our training is shaped by frontline and lived experience, from mental health services and the ambulance service to our own journeys.

We deliver face-to-face and online to the two worlds we know best: clinical and care teams (from NHS trusts and care organisations to the universities training the next generation of clinicians) and corporate teams, from the shop floor to the boardroom. We work in-house with organisations and run accredited open courses for individuals.

Why Training Makes All The Difference

Why training matters

Most people want to help but don’t know how. Without training, even the most caring colleague, manager or clinician can freeze or avoid the conversation altogether, not because they don’t care, but because nobody ever taught them how to help. Our training closes that gap by giving your team the skills to recognise when someone’s struggling and the confidence to respond well, whether that’s a colleague or a patient.

The result? Fewer absences and lower turnover, a workforce that knows what to do when it matters, and real reductions in the costs of unplanned absence, temporary cover and burnout. Not a certificate to file away, but people who are genuinely equipped to look after themselves, support each other, and respond well when someone needs them.

Our training gives learners:

  • A clear understanding of mental health, suicide and neurodiversity
  • Knowledge to recognise when someone needs help
  • Readiness to respond safely and effectively in a crisis
  • Confidence to have open, compassionate conversations
  • Practical tools to build inclusive, proactive workplace cultures
  • Skills to sustain personal wellbeing

Our Courses

What we do

Find the right training for your team.

For Corporates Teams

Our courses for corporate teams include accredited training in mental health, neurodiversity and suicide prevention, giving teams the knowledge to recognise when a colleague is struggling, understand neurodivergent needs, and respond to a crisis with confidence rather than fear.

Suitable for employees, managers, HR professionals, wellbeing champions and leadership teams.

For Clinical & Care Teams

Our courses for clinical and care teams include mental health, neurodiversity and suicide prevention training across three tiers: respond, recover and rebuild. Together, they give teams practical, evidence-based skills to act in the moment, process what the work leaves behind, and build a culture that can sustain them for the long term.

Suitable for clinicians and care staff across NHS trusts, care homes and private care providers.

Masterclasses

Our masterclasses are focused, one-hour sessions on topics such as stress and anxiety, giving people practical tools to understand and look after their own wellbeing, both at work and beyond. Expert-led, with live Q&A, additional resources and 30 days’ access to the recording.

Suitable for whole organisations and ideal for awareness days or a year-round wellbeing programme.

Bespoke Training

Our bespoke training is built entirely around your organisation’s needs, goals and the challenges you’re facing right now. We work with you over time to shape the content, format and delivery, drawing on frontline and lived experience to make sure it reflects your setting.

Suitable for organisations with specific priorities, where off-the-shelf training isn’t quite the right fit.
