Poor workplace mental health is costing your business.
People. Productivity. Profit.
We turn mental health from a hidden cost into a competitive advantage — protecting your people, reducing risk, boosting productivity and profit.
“When Andy first approached me as a business owner about mental health awareness in the workplace, it struck a chord.
Andy brings real experience, empathy and a no-nonsense approach to mental health in the workplace. A fresh approach that I knew we needed in our business.
We trialled the support circle toolkit in beta format, and it has given us a complete insight in how to help staff and improve conversations and awareness around us.
The mental health cost calculator is a real eye opener for any business owners.
We look forward to continuing working with Life First Then Work and improving our business.”
- Damien McGrath (Giggs and McGrath)

Stronger mental health = stronger business.
We turn awareness into action with practical tools, real conversations and culture change that lasts.
Leadership workshops and strategy: culture starts at the top
Equip your leaders to cut risk, build trust and lead in ways that protect people and performance.
How leaders show up sets the tone — for better or worse. These sessions build confidence, clarity and accountability so managers lead with impact.
Clarity. Compassion. Responsibility.
That’s how cultures shift — from the top down.
Employee Workshops: start the conversations that change culture
Get your teams talking openly about mental health — breaking stigma, building trust and supporting each other every day.
Our practical, lived-experience sessions give people confidence to act, not just listen — without the lectures or awkward icebreakers.Built for real people and real workplaces — not compliance-only, tick-box awareness.
Change your culture. Protect your people. Strengthen your business
Peer Support Programme: make everyday support visible
Build a workplace safety net where support is seen, normalised and easy to access.
Support Circle creates a peer-powered system your people can use every day — structured, simple, and sustainable. It gives employees confidence, boundaries, and tools to support one another in real, human ways.
It’s not crisis response.
It’s culture — built on connection.
And it works because it’s human.
