  • Recognising early signs of mental health concerns at work 

  • Having safe, confident wellbeing conversations with colleagues 

  • Responding effectively to distress, crisis or suicide risk 

  • Reducing stigma and increasing psychological safety

Why it matters

Workplace mental health concerns often go unnoticed until they become critical.

Equipping teams with essential awareness and support skills helps organisations:

  • Respond earlier to distress

  • Reduce stigma and encourage open conversation

  • Strengthen psychological safety, resilience and trust

  • Improve wellbeing, engagement and retention

  • Create safer, healthier working environments

Ripple Foundations forms the base layer of capability organisations need to support people well and to enable lasting behavioural and cultural change.

What people say

Selected feedback from leaders and teams who’ve worked with Ripple.

  • “I honestly believe we’ve moved the heads of a lot of people, and we’ve taken them on a journey they didn’t expect, in a way they didn’t expect, and have genuinely hit some hearts. What you’ve done for us and how you’ve helped our people, I think, is remarkable

    - David Garner, Director of Safety, Health and Environment

  • “It was a powerful experience that touched me and brought together a very different mix of people within the organisation. Everyone I’ve spoken to says they will remember this, and at the heart of that is the storytelling and the emotion that was conveyed. It was very believable.”

    - Howard Forster, Chief Operating Officer.

  • “I’m speechless. What I experienced was absolutely amazing. The interaction, the movement, and the fact that you’ve felt part of something you just can’t put a value on it"

    - Martin Rimmer, Chief People Officer

  • Working with Ripple&Co has made the difference. Learner feedback after the Mental Health First Aid training is always exceptional. Ripple’s independent assessment of core suitability to the role reduced our recruitment stress and gave us confidence in our provision. We chose Ripple for their values and evidence-based approach. They are a valued partner now.

    - Adrian Shah-Cundy, Volker Wessels.

  • Thank you so much! Everyone loved the session, we got so much out of it and at a time when we really need those reminders to basically look after ourselves and enjoy the moments. I was really great to hear tips of how to bring more of this back into our working lives especially when work pressure is high.

    - Jenny Lawless, Corporate Affairs, Kellanova
