For organisations & groups

The whole organisation approach

Training is one intervention inside a wider system. IAP helps organisations understand, build awareness, develop capability, plan, embed and review — starting wherever you are.

Why this matters

Look at working conditions as well as training

Most organisations already do something for wellbeing. An EAP. An awareness day. A round of training. Those things can genuinely help — and they are rarely enough on their own, because the things that most shape mental health at work are how work is designed, how leaders behave and how people are treated.

We start where you are. Sometimes that's one session for one team. Sometimes it's a multi-year partnership. Either way we'll be honest with you about what will make the biggest difference next — including when the answer isn't more training.

How we work

Six connected ways of working

You can enter at any point and move in any direction. Most partnerships start small and grow.

  1. 01

    Understand

    Discovery, review of what already exists, data and lived experience. What's working, what's missing, what's actually causing harm.

  2. 02

    Build awareness

    Talks and whole-staff sessions that help leaders and colleagues discuss wellbeing and prevention.

  3. 03

    Develop capability

    Skills-based learning: MHFA, Suicide First Aid, leadership practice, neuroinclusion, trauma-informed practice, psychological safety.

  4. 04

    Take action

    Facilitated strategy and action planning with leaders and staff, so priorities are shaped by the people affected by them.

  5. 05

    Embed

    Implementation support, role clarity, communications, refreshers, champion networks and ongoing development.

  6. 06

    Review

    Revisit what changed, what did not and why, then agree what to adjust.

Entry points

Common ways organisations start

None of these require a strategy first. They're all reasonable beginnings.

What you can expect

How we behave as a partner

  • Honest scoping. We'll tell you if a smaller piece of work would serve you better.
  • Content informed by evidence, lived experience and your group’s needs.
  • Sessions designed for accessibility: multiple ways in, no forced disclosure, clear boundaries.
  • Facilitators matched to your context from our wider associate network.
  • Practical outputs — action plans, prompts and tools people actually use afterwards.
  • Clear boundaries about what training can and cannot do, especially around risk and clinical need.
