Nineteen tools for running the programme, not just training it.
Most workplace mental health work fails somewhere between the policy and the person. These are the working documents for the bit in between — assessments, planners and audits you fill in and take away. No sign-up, nothing saved on our side.
Access & trust
Anonymous Support Gap Assessment
Test whether employees can realistically reach support at the moment they are least comfortable revealing that they need it.
Policy
Workplace Mental Health Policy Builder
Build a practical policy outline covering support, confidentiality, absence, return to work, training and review.
HSE-aligned
Work-Related Stress Risk Assessment
A quick organisational assessment built around the six HSE Management Standards: Demands, Control, Support, Relationships, Role and Change.
Manager support
Manager Mental Health Conversation Planner
Prepare managers for a supportive conversation that listens, explores work impacts and agrees next steps without diagnosing.
Workplace adjustments

MHFA effectiveness
Mental Health First Aider Network Audit
Measure whether your MHFA network is accessible, trusted, supported and operational — not simply trained.
Culture
Psychological Safety Pulse Planner
Build a short pulse check to understand whether employees feel able to speak up, ask for support and admit when they are struggling.
Listening

Work design

Hybrid work

Absence

Review patterns at team or organisational level without trying to infer medical diagnoses from absence data.
Boundaries

Define what HR, managers and MHFAs should say about confidentiality before someone shares sensitive information.
Urgent response
Workplace Mental Health Crisis Response Checklist
Create a simple organisational response path for situations where someone may be at immediate risk, without asking managers or MHFAs to act as clinicians.
Engagement
Mental Health Awareness Campaign Planner
Turn 'we have MHFAs' into a repeatable campaign that tells employees what support exists, what it feels like to use it and how private the first step can be.
Measurement
HR Mental Health Metrics Builder
Choose useful organisational metrics that show access, responsiveness, work-design risk and improvement without creating a surveillance dashboard.
Capability
Manager Mental Health Training Matrix
Define the minimum behaviours every manager needs, then identify where specialist escalation is required.
Navigation
