MHFA digital support tool

Changing mental health management in the workplace

plato supports your Mental Health First Aiders with a data-driven digital tool that tracks activity, is packed with tools and resources and gives you real time visibility of wellbeing in the business.

Creating a new generation of Mental Health First Aid

Managing workplace wellbeing can come at a personal cost to those who care most. This can create significant risk for the business.

Despite the evidence of its effectiveness, many businesses fail to support their Mental Health First Aid network post-training.

The need for confidentiality in wellbeing support creates feelings of isolation for Mental Health First Aiders, adding to their need for support tools and resources.

It also misses a valuable opportunity for gaining insight ​into employee wellbeing.
