  • Improve your own understanding of mental health and wellbeing
  • Promote healthier, more open workplaces and communities

Participants have described the training as:

How does it work?  

There are three modules all of which build on each other.

Module 1 is a fantastic starter course which can be undertaken on its own and is designed for one-off conversations around mental wellbeing. In this session you’ll learn about two mental health models which incorporate the 5 ways to mental wellbeing and more.

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.

Each module lasts approximately 3 – 3.5 hours.

Spaces are limited, so reserve your spot now and take the first step towards creating a healthier, more supportive Salford.
