Connect 5 Training – Modules 1,2 and 3

Whether you’re a key worker, community volunteer, health and social care professional, or part of the emergency services, this training is for anyone in a public-facing role in Trafford who wants to make a real difference in supporting mental health.

What is Connect 5?

Connect 5 is a structured mental health training programme made up of three modules that build on each other. Backed by the Five Ways to Wellbeing and evidence-based theory, Connect 5 helps you:

  • Gain the confidence, skills, and tools to have effective mental wellbeing conversations
  • Increase your resilience and ability to support others
  • Improve your own understanding of mental health and wellbeing
  • Promote healthier, more open workplaces and communities

Why Attend?

Participants have described the training as:

  • “Inspiring”
  • “Valuable”
  • “Empowering”

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 Trafford.
