About Changing Minds Training
We are a Redhill-based training provider specialising in mental health, suicide prevention and neurodiversity, working nationwide. Our training is shaped by frontline and lived experience, from mental health services, the ambulance service and our own journeys. We work in-house with corporate, clinical and care organisations and run accredited open courses for individuals.
Our mission? To equip HR, L&D and clinical training leads with training that works in practice, giving every person in their teams the knowledge and confidence to look after their own mental health, support the people around them, and respond well in a crisis.

Most People Want To Help But Don't Know How
Without training, even the most caring colleague, manager or clinician can freeze or avoid the conversation altogether, not because they don’t care, but because nobody ever taught them how to help. Our training closes that gap. Not just provide a certificate to file away, but people who are genuinely equipped to look after themselves, support each other, and respond well when someone needs them.
The result?
Fewer absences and lower turnover, a workforce that knows what to do when it matters, and real reductions in the costs of unplanned absence, temporary cover and burnout.
