Practical, in-person mental health training for workplaces, organisations and communities across Moray. Organisations in Moray can choose from Scotland’s Mental Health First Aid, workplace mental health training and focused mental health awareness courses and modules. We deliver in person across Elgin, Forres, Lossiemouth, Buckie, Keith, Speyside and the wider Moray area.
Green Ribbons is based in Moray and delivers face-to-face mental health training for organisations across the area, from Elgin, Forres and Lossiemouth to Speyside and smaller rural communities.
Moray’s workplaces are varied. A small business without its own HR team may need something very different from a large public-sector organisation. Farming and land-based work, hospitality, education, care, manufacturing and distilling all bring different working patterns, pressures and opportunities to support people well.
Our training is practical and grounded in the situations people may actually encounter at work. We help people become clearer about how to notice when someone may be struggling, start a useful conversation, listen well and understand where further support may be needed.
Where the course allows it, we can also adapt examples and discussion around the people, pressures and circumstances of your organisation.
Our approach is practical and in person. We help people build confidence to notice when someone may be struggling, have useful conversations and understand what support may be available, while adapting the training around the people and situations in the room.
