Part 1. Perceptions of the prevail training
depression, anxiety
Overall, 492 people completed the evaluation of the Prevail intervention. No demographic information was taken. A summary of the quantitative results for the Prevail Staff Intervention is given in Fig. Importantly, three questions in the quantitative evaluation aimed to examine if participants felt the intervention had equipped them with the knowledge and skills that had been intended: to be able to apply in practice what they had learnt; to be able to improve their own mental health; and to be able to help and assist others with their mental health difficulties. Again, these questions elicited very positive responses. 92% of participants endorsed that the aims of the intervention were met. 86% of people felt that they were able to immediately apply what they had learnt about mental health and evidence-based low intensity psychological interventions, and 81% of people felt that they were able to help others with their mental health difficulties (compared to 3% disagreeing for each of these latter two questions). Examination of the responses of those who did disagree identified the theme of “Thematic examination of responses to the question “What (if any) part(s) of the course did you find useful?” revealed four major themes. The most common theme (56 respondents) was termed “all of it” which is exemplified by the comments:
““
Quantitative Feedback from Prevail Staff InterventionThe theme “videos and case studies” was reported as being particularly useful by 50 respondents, where they expressed that seeing real people (and their colleagues in particular) talking about their mental health difficulties and well-being, enhanced their understanding of these issues (with one video and case study included for each of anxiety, depression, stress, and bereavement).For example:
“The theme “mental health as a continuum” was mentioned as being particularly useful by 22 respondents and as important in tackling stigma and self-stigma.For example:
“Finally, 16 people mentioned the section on “stress” as being particularly useful, with the theme emerging that this is often ignored and not treated as a real or significant problem impacting mental health and well-being in the workplace.For example:
“In total 49 people undertook the Prevail Managers training. This included the 38 managers in the active arm of the study alongside 11 other senior managers not directly involved in the main study. No demographic information was taken. A summary of the quantitative results for the Prevail Manager Intervention is given in Fig. 
Quantitative Feedback from Prevail Managers InterventionThree questions aimed to examine if managers felt that the intervention programme had equipped them with the knowledge and skills that had been intended: to be able to apply in practice what they had learnt; to be able to improve their own mental health; and to be able to help and assist others with their mental health difficulties. Again, these questions elicited positive responses. Particularly encouraging were the responses to the question about being able to help others, as this was integral to the aims of the Prevail Managers programme. 94% of managers agreed that Prevail Managers had improved their ability to help others with their mental health difficulties, compared to 0% who disagreed. Examination of the responses of those who were neutral on this question (neither agreeing nor disagreeing) showed very few comments with no common theme.Thematic examination of responses to the question “What (if any) part(s) of the intervention did you find useful?” revealed one theme mentioned by eight respondents. This consisted of comments stating that they found the section of the intervention programme related to The feedback for both the Prevail Staff Intervention and the Prevail Manager Intervention programmes has shown an overwhelming endorsement by staff and managers that the aims of the intervention programme have been met, the content of the intervention is fit for purpose, and the delivery of the programme is satisfactory.We thought it useful to summarise with two comments from delegates:
