How to get involved

Free Mental Health Awareness in the Community training

Provided in-house

This is a condensed two-hour awareness course which gives an overview of mental health conditions, how to manage stress, how to start a conversation and where to signpost people for further help. This course also contains some content on suicide awareness. It can be delivered to groups on request (minimum numbers required). This course can accommodate up to 20 attendees aged 18 years+.

Following the training, Wellbeing Champions will receive access to a private area on our website where supporting resources and information can be accessed.

If you have completed mental health training elsewhere and would like to be listed as a Wellbeing Champion for your area, please send us your certificate with your consent to add you to the Network. Equally, if you have experience supporting mental wellbeing through an existing job role, get in contact.
