It’s important to add that being a CALM Mental Health Champion is not a professional qualification, and the course is an easy first step towards better self-awareness and having informed conversations.
Become a CALM Mental Health Champion
A CALM Mental Health Champion is someone who has an enhanced understanding of mental health, and has basic strategies to support themselves, and the people in their life.
We’ve partnered with Champion Health to develop a course that teaches you the basic skills you need to become a CALM Mental Health Champion – it takes about an hour, and there’s a quiz at the end to make sure that you’ve picked up the information.
We started working with Champion Health when Simon, our CEO, met Harry, Champion Health’s founder. CALM’s work resonated with Harry as he sadly lost his business mentor to suicide.
Champion Health are well-known, leading experts in the field of workplace well-being. They are diligent about the evidence base for the work and it’s been designed by qualified health professionals, including GPs, psychologists and academics.
We believe that Champion Health’s work is universal and could positively impact anyone who is interested in mental well-being and who comes to CALM through that lens.
