Approximately three-quarters of law firms have initiatives in place to support employees' mental health - and that's great!
I'm passionate about helping people with mental ill-health thrive at work, rather than 'just survive'.
That drive is influenced by my own lived experience, having lived with mental health problems since the earliest age I can remember.
As a Mental Health First Aid instructor over the last 5 years, I've trained over 1,250 MHFAiders and over 2,000 more in other courses and bespoke workshops.
As a former Chief Executive in the Citizens Advice network for 5 years, and other Director roles, I know how important the employee-manager relationship is - in fact, surveys show that managers have as much impact on our wellbeing as our partner does.
And whilst supporting managers, peer-to-peer support helps make access to in-the-moment support more accessible and promotes a supportive workplace culture.
I'd love to work with you on your training needs - I've put this page together to give you an overview, but if you have any further questions please reach out.

Proven track record delivering exceptional mental health first aid training
Jake has trained many of our mental health first aiders at the firm and the feedback on his training has been fantastic. People enjoy how he approaches difficult topics in an empathetic, but realistic manner and colleagues have felt comfortable asking questions and engaging in his sessions.
We have also worked with Jake on some more bespoke offerings around mental health awareness through an intersectional lens, and around boundary setting. We have appreciated his adaptability, but most of all his enthusiasm for supporting mental health awareness at our firm.
He has always considered how mental health might affect those in the legal profession differently to other sectors. We would recommend Jake's training to anyone!
