Adam Garbutt and Lisa Wells
A TRAINING firm is putting mental health awareness on the agenda.
With a long history of serving the engineering and construction industries across Teesside, NETA Training is now encouraging employers to pay closer attention to their employees’ mental health.
“It’s not about being an expert,” said instructor Adam Garbutt. “It is simply being able to recognise the signs that someone may be struggling and having the knowledge and confidence to step-up, offer reassurance and, if needed, guide someone towards appropriate professional help.”
A former steelworker, the Middlesbrough dad said: “Anyone can suffer with mental ill health. It is only by raising people’s awareness that we can help to remove the stigma."
