Real skills, not just inspiration. Done before lunch — and built to last long after it.
What It Is
A keynote changes hearts. The half-day workshop starts changing behaviour.
Danny's half-day workshop combines the power of lived experience with practical, structured mental health tools that your team can put to work the same day. It's not a lecture. It's not a webinar recording played in a meeting room. It's Danny — in the room with your people — for half a day.
The format works because it moves. Danny opens with his story — the same raw, honest account that has stopped rooms across the UK. Then the session shifts into facilitated group discussion, practical frameworks and clear signposting guidance.
People leave knowing what to look out for, how to start a conversation, and where to point someone who's struggling. Not just aware — actually equipped.
It's particularly effective for teams where people work closely together — where early identification of mental health issues really matters and where the culture of silence costs lives.
"People left that session knowing what to do. Not just what to feel."
Who It's For
The half-day format works across every sector. Danny adapts his delivery and examples to the audience in the room.
High-risk workforce, low uptake of traditional support. The half-day workshop reaches people where they are.
Line managers and HR professionals who need practical tools, not just awareness.
Senior leaders who want to model good mental health culture from the top down.
Teaching and support staff dealing with increasing pupil mental health demands.
Police, fire and ambulance teams who need to look after each other.
Players, coaches and support staff in elite and community sport.
On the Day
Danny's team works with you to understand your team, your sector and anything specific you'd like covered. Every session is different.
The workshop opens with 30–40 minutes of Danny's keynote — honest, personal and delivered without slides or scripts. It sets the context and opens the room.
Small group conversations around mental health in your specific workplace — what it looks like, what gets in the way, what helps.
How to spot early warning signs. How to start a conversation. How to signpost someone to support. Real skills, practised in the room — not just talked about.
Everyone leaves with practical resources, key contact numbers and a clear sense of what to do if they — or someone they know — needs help.
What We Cover
Danny's half-day workshop is built around three core topics — resilience, work-life balance and anger management. Each one is grounded in Danny's own lived experience and delivered in a way that connects with real people in real workplaces. No jargon. No corporate tick-boxes. Just honest, practical conversation that sticks.
Resilience isn't about being tough — it's about knowing how to recover. Danny draws on his own breakdown and comeback to show teams what genuine resilience looks like, how to build it before crisis hits, and how to help colleagues who are struggling to bounce back.
Explore This TopicThe pressure to always be on is one of the biggest drivers of poor mental health in the workplace. Danny's approach cuts through the corporate clichés and gets to what actually shifts behaviour — helping people protect their energy, set limits and show up properly for both work and life.
Explore This TopicAnger in the workplace is often the visible edge of something much deeper. Danny talks about this with a honesty that most trainers can't — because he's lived it. Teams learn to recognise the early signs, understand the triggers and respond in ways that protect themselves and the people around them.

Every organisation has questions. Here are the honest answers to the ones we get most.
Half a day is more than enough to shift a team's thinking and give them real tools. Most mental health training packs far less in. Danny keeps it tight, relevant and practical — nothing is wasted.
Danny's delivery style works precisely because it's not corporate. It's a real story, told by a real person — and that authenticity cuts through to the people who normally switch off.
MHFAs benefit massively from the half-day workshop — it gives the whole team the context to support what MHFAs do. It's not the same thing and it's not in competition with it.
Danny provides signposting resources for all attendees and his team is available if follow-up is needed. The conversation doesn't stop when the session ends.
