A unique training programme

Shaping supportive workplaces since 2020

Our award winning training programme will equip you and your team to look after yourselves and each other. Reducing stigma, removing barriers and making conversations about mental health more comfortable (inside and outside of work) we build teams that are truly Powered By Mates.

ONE conversation can change everything

Real and honest conversations spark a ripple effect far beyond the workplace. Multiplying from six, to six more and six more again, Six Connections create powerful chains of connection and support for each other.

What we do

We create open, supportive work environments – normalising mental health conversations in the everyday.

We work across the UK, with businesses of all sizes and individuals from all backgrounds. From sole traders in construction to senior leaders in retail, our training is suitable for all. We compliment and enhance any existing mental health initiatives including Employee Assistance Programmes, Mental Health First Aid and Staff Incentive Schemes.

Why it matters

Conversations around mental health need to happen more openly – at a point closer to prevention than crisis.

Due to fear, lack of knowledge or limited resources these conversations often don’t happen until it’s too late. REAL conversations save organisations money, time and lives. It starts with ONE conversation.

Why we work

If it’s a social tick box you want – sorry we probably aren’t the organisation for you.

If you want to make a genuine difference in your place of work and beyond – then you are our type of people.  Together we will shape a culture where mental health conversations become as normal as discussing physical health – creating a happier and healthier workplace for all.

Great content and delivery. Engaging sessions with great people. The Foundation Sessions have given me the awareness, knowledge, self belief and understanding to be there for others when needed.

Not  just another wellbeing workshop. It felt real, grounded and a reminder of how much these conversations matter. We can all create environments and cultures where these conversations feel natural and not uncomfortable.

Personally, the Six Connections sessions have helped me to be a better person. As a result of the training we have been able to support members of our own team. If we can help one person then we have done a great thing.
