Training & Education
Do you manage a team of staff that would benefit from Wellbeing Education?
Would you like your team to better understand their needs and those of their colleagues?
Perhaps the most important part of any wellbeing journey is the education and awareness around wellbeing itself. If your team or staff members don’t understand how they can develop their own good mental health and wellbeing, there will never be the motivation to do this for themselves. Blue Light Wellbeing offers the opportunity for your team to become educated around the many topics relating to wellbeing, mental health and trauma, and learn how to manage and support themselves better. It also seeks to reduce the stigma around speaking up during those times that your staff may be struggling - a stigma that can be particularly difficult to overcome in the Emergency Services, or any roles relating to security, risk and threat.
Led by Hannah and her team of experienced Associates our sessions focus on creating a supportive environment where employees can openly discuss mental health issues and learn effective strategies for maintaining their wellbeing. By participating in our workshops organisations can foster a healthier, more resilient workforce equipped to handle the demands of high-stress, complex and demanding environments. Investing in mental health and stress management training for your employees allows them to feel educated, valued and empowered in taking the steps needed to improve their own wellbeing.
We don’t do ‘tick-box’ wellbeing training at Blue Light Wellbeing. We develop our workshops with the knowledge, insight and credibility that comes from having walked that path – both personally and professionally – and then deliver them with passion to connect with and inspire your teams.
If you would like to discuss training and workshop options for your team, please get in touch to set up a meeting.

What some of our clients say
What some of our clients say
Dear Hannah, I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for attending our Royal Navy Symposium on 9thJune 2023. From the outset, it was evident that you possessed a deep understanding of the challenges faced by military personnel, which was incredibly important to us.
Your bespoke workshop aptly named “Looking After Yourselves While Looking After Others” resonated deeply with us all. It was informative but also deeply compassionate, acknowledging the unique pressures faced by us as caregivers in our military roles. We felt we could really connect with you as you offered valuable insights and understanding from your own experience within the police force, making the brief authentic and relatable.
We aren’t often forthcoming with our emotions as military professionals, but your approachable and warm demeanour created a safe and supportive environment for reflection. Your understanding of our roles and the hierarchical systems in which we operate, meant that you could tactfully encourage all ranks to consider their own wellbeing and boundaries, fostering a sense of self-awareness and empowerment.
Your expertise and humility offered an opportunity for nurses to navigate the complex balance of caregiving and self-care. This, coupled with your humility and compassion, made it easy for us all to engage with the workshop and each other throughout. I would highly recommend your workshop for anyone seeking support and guidance in prioritising their well-being, but specifically for those in caring or military roles where the need to put others before yourself often takes priority. As nurses we often forget to ‘practice what we preach’ so thank you for taking the time to remind us.
Lt Holly-Jane Thurgood
Mental Health Nursing Officer & senior psychotherapist
Royal Navy
Hannah and Andy attended our All Staff Away Day to deliver their Change Management presentation which was a transformative experience both professionally and personally. They both eloquently navigated through complex concepts, making them accessible and engaging.
We were particularly impressed with the use of real-life examples that illustrated the practical applications of change managements strategies in a variety of settings. The presentation was not just informative but also incredibly inspiring, driving home the importance of adaptability, communication and leadership in navigating change. The tools and methodologies shared have equipped the office with a deeper understanding and confidence to effectively manage and lead through change within our organisation.
We’d really recommend this presentation for anyone or organisation looking to enhance their ability to lead and manage change effectively. The knowledge and insights gained are invaluable and have left a lasting impact on our approach to change management.
Rachel Wilkes, Business Support Team Leader, OPCC West Midlands Police
I can’t recommend Hannah Bailey of Bluelight Wellbeing enough.
I asked Hannah to deliver 3 sessions on anxiety to our officers and staff., covering topics such as balancing home and work life, managing relationships and managing stress levels. Hannah’s knowledge is clear, but her delivery is with compassion and understanding.
Hannah’s own personal story combined with her previous time within the job enables her to answer questions with insight. We had so much positive feedback from those who attended and asked when is she coming back!
Ruth McRoy, Wellbeing Coordinator, Hertfordshire Constabulary
I have had the pleasure of working with Hannah on both a professional and personal level, her gentle manner and competence is undisputable. Hannah’s lived experiences have enabled her to tune into the needs of emergency responders and provide a unique insight into managing mental health.
A brilliant presenter, with true integrity from someone who really cares…. I cannot recommend her enough!
Detective Chief Inspector Paul Joyce, West Midlands Police
