Web-Based Interactive Training for Managers (Managing Minds at Work) to Promote Mental Health at Work: Pilot Feasibility Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial
Background:
Line managers play a key role in preventing poor mental health but often lack necessary skills and knowledge. Existing interventions typically focus on mental health awareness rather than practical skills. The evidence-based Managing Minds at Work (MMW) web-based training program was developed to address this gap by enhancing line managers' confidence and competence in prevention.
Objective:
This study piloted the MMW intervention to assess its feasibility. Objectives included evaluating (1) uptake potential across small, medium, and large companies; (2) perceived suitability and effectiveness of the intervention; and (3) feasibility of outcome data collection methods.
