About the course

Recent ICAEW research reported over 30% of accountants suffering from mental health issues and 51% admitting that depression and anxiety leave them dreading going to work. With more than half of all days lost to ill health accounted for by work-related stress, depression or anxiety, it’s in everyone’s interest to talk openly about and address mental wellbeing in the workplace. That’s the only way to ensure that we enjoy our work and can help our colleagues do the same.

This course highlights practical ways to help us maintain our mental health and identify risk factors, and it offers solutions for coping when we feel low.

It also explores the relationship between mental wellbeing, workplace demands, and the way we interact with those around us. It provides guidance on how to create a happy and accepting work environment.

  53. Michael Buswell –

  54. Linda Foulkes –

    Gave good overview of the issues and ways of addressing them. Didn’t however deal with the reality that many of work in or have worked in places which superficially tick the boxes but in reality it is all a matter of form over substance.

  55. Andrew O Donnell –

    Good to have a look at theory of this, which was well communicated

  56. Caroline Taylor –

    Good course and I recognised a lot of what was covered in myself. Helped me to recognise ‘danger’ areas. Will use the tools I’ve learned going forward.

  57. Allan Young –

    So much to think about and good ideas to put in place both personally and as a business.

  58. Edmond Boyle –

    It was okay but a bit repetitive and failed to acknowledge that many companies are struggling with costs and under staffed and do not really adhere to their policies on mental health. The course did not address how to deal with this and it is a very common situation.

  59. Bhanumathy Srinivasaraghavan –

    very well structured

    Very thorough, with interesting statistics. Plenty of good techniques and advice to help yourself and others. A really useful and interesting topic that any managers or stressed employees would benefit from learning more on.

  67. Valerie McNamara –

    Having gone through burnout myself I totally identified with everything. It also informed me of the signs to look out for in others who may be suffering from stress or burnout, and pro-active measures that could be put in place to try to avoid it occurring within my Team in the first place. It highlighted my responsibilities as a Manager to protect my Team.

  68. Grace Annicette Mbita Belinga –

    On the point and provide meaningful information on mental well being at work.

  69. Abigail Wright –

    Because the last thing I expected was for CPD towards the requirement for ACCA to deal with Mental Health Issues. The content is also very comprehensive and one goes away believing that the information shared can be used to enhance a workplace mental health program.

  70. Ana Ascenso –

    Very useful information on a issue which is still taboo in companies.
