Useful management advice but repetitive
The section on advice for managers is useful but the majority of the course is a repeat of the Mental Health Awareness module.
Thought provoking content
I found the Mental Health Awareness Training course content to be excellent. It covered many important topics not normally spoken about and gave a clear message it was okay for people to talk about challenges they might have or be going through. The message that it was a sign of strength not weakness to open up about ‘invisible’ health concerns and that Sony management were committed to taking this seriously in supporting staff who expressed a need came across very clearly. Hopefully this course will inspire people further to see mental health as part of a normal conversation with their managers and not something holding a stigma which they need to try and deal with alone. The questions at the end to pass this course could have been a little more challenging though.
Very interesting and very useful.
In general I found the course very interesting and useful. Beside the general awareness of mental health, one point which I attracted my attention is how to control our thoughts, that is differentiating facts from illusions (untrue thoughts sometimes coming to our heads).
It was boring
It was very theoretical and dry. I don't understand why this is a mandatory course when I am not a manager… perhaps there is a shorter course for non-managers and I was assigned to the wrong course.
A good overview of mental health issues
I liked this course. It was clear and concise but raised some very important issues. Lots of links provided for further follow up if desired.

Useful and informative.
Without being too technical, it is a good overview and introduces some useful practical ideas like the Wellness Action Plan (WAP) and Mental Health at Work Plan.
great starter course
There are some really useful ideas here and it would be great if these were available to other team members besides management
This was a general introduction
As a line manager, I would need to do more research to fully assist members of my team who are suffering from stress and anxiety. Handling work related stress of colleagues is one thing but when the stress is external a line manager would need to decide what guidance was appropriate.
