CMI Level 7 Award in Strategic Approaches to Mental Health and Wellbeing (Healthcare)

CMI Level 7 Award in Strategic Approaches to Mental Health and Wellbeing (Healthcare)

Course Overview

Mental health and wellbeing are fundamental to a productive and sustainable workforce, especially within today’s dynamic and often unpredictable work environments. As organisations face the challenges of technological change, hybrid working models, and shifting societal expectations, promoting mental health has become both a strategic necessity and a moral imperative. 

Employers are increasingly responsible for fostering environments that support not just physical safety but also psychological resilience. The integration of mental health and wellbeing into organisational strategy enhances employee engagement, reduces turnover, and drives performance.  

Leaders must address systemic stressors, create a culture of psychological safety, and implement evidence-based practices to support workforce wellbeing. 

This course is designed to support postgraduate-level learners in critically examining mental health and wellbeing in professional contexts. It synthesises global frameworks, UK legislation, NHS priorities, theoretical models, and practical applications, empowering leaders to design and implement sustainable and effective wellbeing strategies.

Testimonials

It was really helpful to have lots of open discussion about real life examples and scenarios with like minded people. It provided opportunities to reflect on my own situations and how I could deal with things differently. Jill was also really insightful and clearly has a wealth of experience and helped guide the conversations with the group.
