Make your organisation
mentally .
If there’s one thing that no business can do without it’s a healthy and happy team.
After all, your colleagues are the beating heart of your organisation.
So how do you create a culture in which team members – and therefore productivity and profitability – can really thrive?
At CHAMPS we help forward-thinking teams and leaders turn mental wellbeing into their biggest asset at work – one conversation at a time.
Navigating mental wellbeing at work doesn’t need to be overwhelming... and it definitely shouldn’t be boring
That’s why CHAMPS takes a different approach.
We’ve swapped the one-sided presentations and awkward workshops for practical, down to earth conversations about what really works when it comes to looking after your mental wellbeing at work.
Here's How
Leadership
Capability
Creating Leadership Capability
Successful leaders are more than experts in their field. They’re empathetic, dynamic and positive. They ooze the key qualities they want to see in their teams. Above all else, they genuinely care.
Leaders’ actions are amplified as a result of their authority and position, and actions always speak louder than words. Our sessions empower leaders to bring out the best in their workforce by bringing out the best in themselves. We’ll prove that compassion and vulnerability are two of the most powerful attributes to have in your arsenal.
for Teams
Workshops for Teams
We offer a small suite of trainings and workshops to support your team in building their mental wellbeing and resilience at work. We explore critical topics like managing stress, how to create your own mental wealth “toolkit” and how every team member can contribute positively toward a culture of mental wellbeing at work.
Support
Coaching and Support
The CHAMPS team are qualified coaches with diverse backgrounds in business, operations, organisational strategy and health & wellbeing. If you are interested in getting support for yourself or your team member in a private, customised environment, then individualised coaching may be a great fit for you.

What People Are Saying
“The best part of working with CHAMPS was Ruth’s responsiveness and flexibility. Everyone who has attended thought the course was invaluable. People have taken so much away from it, not just for the workplace but home life too. It’s got people talking about mental well-being is an open way that we never had before.”
“We were highly impressed by the collaborative approach and the friendliness of everyone we worked with. We love working with Ruth and the CHAMPS team, they are friendly, efficient and extremely professional. Colleagues have commented how relaxed they feel in the course to discuss their own personal issues and how they can use these to support their colleagues in the workplace.”
“Ruth's sessions on mental "wealth" and anxiety were not only engaging, they were interactive and even fun. Mental illness is not something that is easy for people to talk, let alone laugh about, but Ruth's openness to talk about her own struggles and relate to her audience made it so much easier for people to open up. Her sessions received the highest praise out of all of the speakers I booked.”
“No Panic is truly honoured to have Ruth Cooper-Dickson as a patron and spokesperson for the charity. She has shown so much support for the cause and her honesty and openness about her personal journey with mental health makes her genuinely relatable to our many service users. We are thrilled to have her onboard with the charity and excited for what the future holds.”
“Indigo Volunteers is a charity that connects grassroots organisations working along the European refugee route with resources such as volunteers, trainings and key policies. In a field where, unfortunately, individual well-being is often viewed with secondary importance, we try to advocate for best practice whenever possible. The training with CHAMPS gave us and our partner organisations the opportunity to reflect on our own practices of self-care and some amazing tips on how to prioritise our mental wealth during times of adversity. Thank you so much for allowing us to explore how best to support ourselves at this challenging time!"
“I am so pleased to have partnered with CHAMPS and I am extremely grateful to the fantastic Ruth Cooper-Dickson for providing her webinar on ‘You and Your Mental health’ to over 200 virtual attendees through WeAreVirtual series, our new initiative to pay it forward and support the ongoing development of communities who are working from home due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus.”
“What I like about CHAMPS is that it’s grounded in solid expertise and intelligence but it’s delivered in a completely human way – inclusive, down to earth and practical for our everyday lives. Supporting our employees mental health is hugely important to us as a company and engaging with the right partner was fundamental to ensure we are able to provide useful information and strategies so our workforce can thrive – We couldn’t have asked for a better partner, CHAMPS have delivered insightful, educational and engaging sessions every time."
“Feedback from the business was incredibly positive at all levels of seniority, and many employees requested to take the learning further in the form of Mental Health Champion Training, which CHAMPS are going to facilitate for us later on this year. Since the initial sessions took place, CHAMPS have provided bespoke online webinars for us to support our employees with their mental health during the COVID crisis. Not only has this direct support been hugely welcomed by our employees, the HR team has found the coaching and advice from CHAMPS on how to support our employees directly, invaluable. I cannot recommend Tara and the CHAMPS team enough, and we look forward to continuing our mental wealth journey with them over the coming months, and years."
“Working with CHAMPS has been an absolute pleasure, we cannot recommend them enough! Ruth curated and hosted a series of Positive Psychology digital workshops for our network, which has been a great success. The sessions were consistently high quality and the feedback from attendees was unanimously positive. The CHAMPS team are such a joy to work with, responsive and professional but always super friendly and easy to work with."
"I 'attended' the Mental Health Workshop this morning via the Atlas program and just wanted to thank you and Expedia Cruises. The speaker - Tara Kent of CHAMPS was excellent. The workshop was clear, concise, intuitive - extremely non threatening or judgemental, thought provoking, and, of course, time appropriate."
