Tools for Leaders

By Self Space

Join the movement, shift your culture. Train a new generation of compassionate managers

What is Tools for Leaders training?

Tools for Leaders is a one year CPD-certified programme written and led by therapists focusing on supporting managers to better understand and recognise mental health in the workplace.

We discuss common mental health challenges and the impact on employees and organisations, in order to improve general awareness, clarity and strengthen management processes.

We’ll offer therapeutic tools and psychodynamic core principles to get managers to a more confident place when it comes to mental health conversations at work and emotional fluency.

What do you get?

Self Space works with your organisation for a whole year. We start with a CPD-accredited full-day training, delivered in person or online across two half days by our qualified therapists. Following the training, you gain access to our leadership community on Slack, self-guided learning resources, and four additional highly practical sessions designed to keep you growing.

CPD-Accredited Training

“First Aid” speaks to emergency and crisis response. So we’ve created a training that focuses on preventative and positively proactive ways of engaging with each other as humans within our workplaces.

The leaders community & self-guided learning resources

Access our dedicated Slack channel to connect with managers who truly get it, join weekly peer check-ins, receive therapist-led support for difficult conversations, and explore self-guided learning on menopause, ADHD, autism, workplace wellbeing, and returning to work.

Therapist-Led Expertise

Everything is evidence-based. Training, classes and content is researched and written by qualified therapists from our team. This ensures the highest possible standards of training are delivered clinically and trauma-informed way.

Ongoing learning: The Complete Leadership Series

Good leadership requires everyday mental maintenance, it is never a one and done exercise. That’s why your programme includes four additional therapist-led sessions on boundaries, challenging conversations, and mental maintenance, plus a bespoke session designed around the unique needs of your group.

What are people saying?

“Self Space trained all our senior managers in 2022 and they absolutely loved the training. It gave them a great foundation on which to feel more confident supporting their people, more equipped in recognising the signs and to be more proactive in making people feel like they are valued and belong.”
