Mental Health at Work
Give your leaders the skills to spot early warning signs, support colleagues effectively, and build a safer, more resilient team culture.
Mental health matters
Mental health isn’t a one-day topic. It’s not just in May or on World Mental Health Day (10/10) that we should talk about this. It’s something we should talk about, act on, and prioritise every day.
In this video, Psychologist & Leadership Consultant Sofie Isgaard Abild shares: “An important first step is to simply agree that mental health matters. It can feel overwhelming to start a mental health journey – to ask, what does our organisation need, and what’s the next step?”
We are here for that conversation. Whether it’s raising awareness, building a support network, or guiding your next steps, we believe every organisation can create a safer, more supportive environment for its people.

Mental health affects performance, retention and safety
Mental health is no longer just a personal issue, it’s a workplace issue. And in safety-critical industries like maritime, offshore energy and logistics, the risks of ignoring it are high.
We help organisations shift from reactive crisis response to proactive leadership. Our training builds skills that reduce sick leave, support wellbeing, and strengthen team trust.
