“I couldn’t recommend it highly enough; every company should provide something like this for their employees. The workshop facilitator was extremely knowledgeable and engaging and despite it being done over teams, he built a real rapport with everyone on the call through his compassionate and empathetic communication. The course content was well laid out and easy to follow, it was also excellently supplemented with useful information related to mental health support options. Aquarius were a pleasure to deal with from the initial phone call all the way through to receiving a (great value) invoice.”
“We were looking to break the stigma of addiction and open up to talk about such an incredibly common issue instead of letting people dealing it suffer in silence and shame.
We had great feedback from range of colleagues across the bank who were so glad we were discussing what is still a taboo subject. Even if they were not affected themselves, giving them the tools to spot signs, start the conversation etc was a really valuable takeaway for them in supporting their staff/colleagues.
I fully recommend these workshops to all businesses. Aquarius not only made the training engaging, accessible and interactive but also provided excellent recommendations in follow up support and we very much look forward to working with them again in the future. What really shines through with Aquarius also is their passion for what they do and the staff really reflect that with the sensitivity and authentic nature they deliver the training in.”
Our training looks to provide knowledge, upskill employees and remove barriers to people receiving the support they need.
An employee might;
- Be reluctant to admit or ask for help.
- Have feelings of shame – embarrassed to discuss issues.
- Not realise their behaviours are harmful.
- Be unaware of the available support.
For a supervisor, manager, HR staff, or someone that wants to support another person. They might;
- Not be confident about approaching the person.
- Not know enough about substance misuse.
- Have limited time and resources.
- Be unaware of local services.
- Have their own unconscious biases.
The delivery of our training seeks to reduce the stigma and encourage people to come forward to receive the support they need and will in turn reduce risk in the workplace.
