Mental health training that transforms hospital culture

Hospitals are the frontline of a mental health crisis. Like safeguarding, every person has a part to play.

Our one-hour mental health e-learning gives every member of hospital staff — from cleaners to consultants — the context and confidence to respond.

Anthony Gartland Head of Nursing (Mental Health), Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust
  • I found out about We Can Talk because I work closely with mental health patients when they come in, I just needed a bit more understanding. I wish I’d done the training a long time ago. Ken Security Officer
  • Working with We Can Talk doesn’t signal a problem — it signals a priority. Investing in this training demonstrates a commitment to improving care for both patients and staff. Michelle Johnson MBE Executive Director, NHS Supply Chain; Advisory Board, We Can Talk
Delivered by people with lived experience

Why this training is different

1 in 3 hospital staff are unsure their organisation provides safe care for patients in mental health distress. 1 in 4 don’t see mental health as part of their role — but after completing our one-hour training, that group sees the greatest change.

Our training is co-produced and delivered by people with lived experience of mental health crisis in hospital settings — connecting staff emotionally to patient experience in a way that traditional learning cannot.
