Oakwood Training

Oakwood Training Helping you develop a culture with employee wellbeing at the heart. WELCOME TO OAKWOOD. We help companies develop a culture with employee wellbeing at the heart.

Oakwood turned 10 this year and we’ve been reflecting on why we do what we do. Delivering mental health, wellbeing and conflict management programmes is what we do of course, but what really gets us out of bed in the morning is something much more. Our ‘Why’ is about creating happier, more inclusive, and productive workplaces where people feel valued and fulfilled and are at the very heart of the

way the business operates. We believe it’s good for people and good for business. We are unique in being able to present a more holistic training package that joins the dots between conflict and wellbeing. Conflict can impact our wellbeing, but our state of wellbeing can also influence our response to conflict. We deliver a range of bespoke training and wellbeing services to sectors where people are key to business success. We develop content specifically for your business, so your people know what is expected of them rather than just overly generic content. We can deliver in any time zone or language. We believe that the messenger is as important as the message, and we take great care in ensuring our team can connect and inspire. We’ve built a team of incredible trainers who are not just academics. They bring their own extensive front-line, real-world experience from a range of diverse backgrounds to create safe environments where the realities of mental health, wellbeing and conflict can be explored. We ensure our eLearning courses and live trainer-led programs are culturally relevant by using native-speaking trainers to develop and deliver content in local languages. We consider cultural differences, perspectives, legislation, resources and signposting specific to different countries. We’d love to find out more about you and your organisation, and how we can help. Get it touch 🖥www.oakwoodtraining.co.uk, 📩[email protected], ☎01858 469497

1 in 10 dads gets postpartum depression, and this number significantly increases if the mum is also depressed.

International Fathers’ Mental Health Day is a worldwide campaign now in its 10th year. It aims to help people know more about the mental health of dads, to remove the stigma about men’s mental health, and to get people talking openly.

Having a baby is a life-changing event, and it takes everyone time to adapt to being a parent. No one should feel guilty if they’re finding it hard. Caring for a baby can feel stressful and exhausting.

Seeking help means that the right treatment and support can be provided. Otherwise, depression might get worse or last longer. This can impact relationships with a baby, partner, or wider family. With the right treatment, most people make a full recovery.

Men’s Health Week is a reminder that workplace wellbeing isn’t just about policies or awareness days, it’s about whether people genuinely feel able to speak up, ask for help and support one another when it matters most.

In many male-dominated industries, those conversations still don’t come easily.

Our training is built around the common concerns we know men have when talking about their mental health and getting the support they need.

Support men’s mental health in the workplace with practical training that builds awareness, confidence and wellbeing across your organisation.

Did you know that 1 in 5 men won’t live long enough to see their 65th birthday?

- Three-quarters of suicides are men
- Three-quarters of deaths linked to cardiovascular disease are men
- We’re more likely to die from cancer
- Twice as likely to have undiagnosed type 2 diabetes
- We're more likely to drink to dangerous levels and smoke.
- 60% of men say they wouldn’t bring up concerns about prostate cancer for fear of having a re**al exam.

Despite all that, men and middle-aged men in particular have the lowest rates of engagement with doctors than any other group. The stats can’t be explained by one single factor, but attitudes around asking for help certainly play a role, and we can absolutely do something about that.

It's the start of and Oakwood Founder Terry Streather asks: Are you ‘man enough’ to admit to yourself that one day, things will probably go wrong mentally or physically? None of us is superhuman, and we are no different from every other man out there.

We might convince or delude ourselves that ‘manning up’ and not talking about worries is all rather stoic, a way to maintain dignity, independence and heroic toughness.

We need to get over ourselves.

Yes it might be scary and uncomfortable, but we are literally dying from embarrassment.
