The platform, which has been developed in collaboration with employee health and wellbeing specialists Rightsteps, is designed for use by anyone who talks to insurance customers.
The course, which takes around two hours to complete, is free and comprises three short modules which can be completed separately.
They are:
1. Introduction to mental health, to increase awareness and understanding of common mental health conditions.
2. Managing conversations, to develop skills for open, honest and effective conversations with insurance customers.
3. Individual vulnerability and crisis management, to improve communication skills to respond to people experiencing a mental health crisis.
You will be required to set up a free online account in order to access the training.
The Association of British Insurers or ABI is a trade association made up of insurance companies in the United Kingdom.
