The training sessions we offer are comprehensive, interactive, and are research/evidence-based and are delivered by experienced professionals.
Why we deliver this training
The training created a space that was safe to explore an emotive subject, and despite having some experience and knowledge already I definitely feel more confident going away from this training.

I really enjoyed the course, I found it informative and feel more confident in supporting people with their mental health. It was really nice and so important to have the time and space to think about these issues. It has definitely left me with lots to think about in regards to how I take my learning into my role.

Module 2 builds on the knowledge and techniques you’ve learnt in module one and introduces basic motivational questioning techniques . It also discusses suicide and how you can identify signs as well and how to support others. It is suitable for people who maybe having more in-depth wellbeing conversations in their roles.
Module 3 again builds on the previous two modules, looks at exploring further techniques as well and looking after our own wellbeing. It is suitable for people who are meeting people on a regular basis to help improve wellbeing.
