Mental wellbeing in the workplace 
— How to become a mental wellbeing coach

In today’s workplaces, emotional clarity, psychological safety and human connection are no longer “soft skills” — they are the foundation for real performance, trust and long-term engagement. When people feel seen, safe and supported, everything changes: communication opens up, conflicts dissolve faster, and teams collaborate with honesty instead of fear.

This program is created for those who want to guide others towards better mental wellbeing within their organisation — with structure, confidence and real impact. You will learn how to lead meaningful conversations, support individuals through challenges, and strengthen a culture where people thrive, stay engaged and truly grow.

Why mental wellbeing at work matters

Mental health challenges affect workplaces everywhere. One in six employees struggle with mental health issues, leading to higher sick leave, lower engagement and unnecessary costs. In this short message, Helena Stahl shares why proactive support makes a real difference — for people, teams and the bottom line.

Core Pillars of Mental Wellbeing

To build a mentally healthy workplace, we focus on four core pillars that drive clarity, resilience and engagement — for individuals, teams and culture.
