Dear <<Boss/HR Manager>>,

I'd like to become a mental health first aider for

<<your company name>> and I'm hoping you can help.

Here are some of the reasons why <<your company name>>

will benefit from offering Mental Health First Aid training to our

employees:

1. Build staff confidence to have open conversations around mental
   health and break the stigma in the office and in society.


2. Encourage people to access early support when needed. Early
   intervention means faster recovery.


3. Empower people with a long term mental health issue or disability to
   thrive in work, and ensure that we are compliant with legislation in
   the Equality Act 2010.


4. Promote a mentally healthy environment, and allow people to thrive
   and become more productive.


5. Embed a long-term, positive culture across the whole organisation,
   where our employees recognise their mental and physical health are
   supported as equal parts of the whole person.


6. Proudly share that mental health is on our company agenda and
   improve retention as a result of a reduction in staff stress levels.

Happiful offers two-day mental health first aid training courses for

individuals across the country for £235 + VAT per person, and they

can also offer bespoke courses on-site at our workplace if we have a

minimum of eight attendees.

Yours sincerely,
