Exclusive Wellbeing and Mental Health Support Offers

Wellbeing, self-care, or positive mental health - whatever the label, busy business owners, managers and staff often lack the vital time to step back and put themselves first. In the dark months of January, combined with the effects of Covid on trade, it has never been more important to look after ourselves. The Hereford BID might be able to help a little here with an exclusive offer just for you!

Throughout January to the end of March, we are offering each of our member businesses the chance to benefit from a Wellbeing Session, including massage, counselling, or training. Sessions are either free, paid for by Hereford BID or Hereford BID will contribute toward the full price.

 Services for Independent Living (SIL)

Offer: £50 contribution towards a 2-day course, online or in person, on the Mental Health First Aid Accredited Course. You pay £100, we pay £50, total £150 per place.

Businesses across the world and in particular the UK, increasingly recognising the importance of good mental health amongst their staff and the multiple benefits this can bring to them and the organisation. In recognition of this growing need, an internationally renowned course has been established, simply called Mental Health First Aid (or MHFA for short), which is available to BID members at a heavily discounted price, subsidised by the Hereford BID with a generous discount from SIL. The normal cost is £330, but is heavily discounted to £150 of which the BID pay £50.

During the 2-day course, your MHFA England trainer, Euan McPherson, will not teach you to be a therapist, but just like physical first aid, it will teach you to listen, reassure and respond, even in a crisis.

The Adult MHFA England course is for everyone aged 16 upwards. Your sessions will be delivered by a quality assured ‘Instructor Member’ who has attended the MHFA Instructor Training programme accredited by the Royal Society for Public Health and is trained to keep people safe and supported while they learn.
