About Us
What is IAMH?
IAMH is an international mental health first aid training course that equips employees with the skills to support their own mental wellbeing and that of their global colleagues, promoting timely access to necessary support.
Available in all countries and all languages, IAMH places a strong emphasis on cultural awareness, acknowledging and incorporating non-westernised approaches to mental health first aid.
Unlike other mental health first aid courses, IAMH focuses on global consistency, offering standardised support and resources across all territories, rather than regionalised approaches.
We understand that each organisation is unique and creating global change is a complex task. Our training and consultancy is here to support you every step of the way, with the ultimate goal of promoting and maintaining healthy workplaces.

Just as we all have physical health, we all have mental health too.
It’s important to remember that mental ill health can affect anyone, at any time. Yet despite improvements, stigma around mental health issues still persists.
Most people spend one-third of their adult life at work and there is a high probability that many people are likely to experience a spectrum of mental health issues in the working environment. Unfortunately, research shows that the workplace is where many people feel uncomfortable talking about issues relating to their mental health.
With the growing need for culturally intelligent and empathetic mental health support in the workplace, our mental health training course shows advocates how to actively heighten awareness, and extend resources and assistance to their global colleagues.
Collectively, we can create a society where everyone can thrive.
