Wellbeing Lead Academy- Reducing Mental Health Absence: Career Pathway Open Day

Reducing Mental Health Absence: Career Pathway Open Day. Tuesday 7th July 2026 12pm-12.45pm. Online free event.

Work-related stress is the largest single cause of long-term absence in the UK, and the legal duty to manage it sits with the employer. For occupational health and wellbeing professionals, the pressure to bring those numbers down has never been greater. Most organisations respond with activity. Few have anyone equipped to design a wellbeing strategy that moves the figures. One employer reduced mental health-related sickness absence by 41% in twelve months once they had a trained wellbeing lead and a proper strategy in place.

This free 45-minute Open Day introduces the qualification pathway behind results like that: the Level 3 Certificate for those building the foundations, and the Level 5 Advanced Certificate in Strategic Wellbeing Leadership for those leading strategy at senior level. The Wellbeing Lead Academy is a SOM Recognised Education provider.
