Smash the stigma around mental health
Digital training to transform mental health
Employees’ mental health is under enormous, prolonged strain both inside and outside the workplace.
Providing support is now a critical priority for employers. By helping employees remain mentally healthy we can build stronger, more resilient workplaces.
Mercer Marsh Benefits (MMB), in collaboration with Make A Difference, has designed a digital workplace mental health training course that can reach, engage and benefit every employee.

Mental health awareness for a worldwide workforce
We want to smash the stigma around anxiety, depression, stress and other common conditions. Our ambition is to make it easier for employees worldwide to care for their mental wellbeing, and their colleagues’ too.
In collaboration with MAD and with input from familiar faces from athletes to supermodels, we have created a four-part digital learning programme that looks at key aspects of mental wellbeing.
Packed with practical tips, reflective questions and calls to action, this programme highlights the key symptoms of common mental health conditions and how to spot early warning signs in yourself and others. It helps employees build personal resilience and to learn how to bounce back - or even forwards - from challenges and setbacks.
