Training to help people build a clearer understanding of mental health, challenge common assumptions and feel more confident recognising when someone may be finding things difficult.
Mental health affects all of us, but people can still feel uncertain about what different mental health difficulties look like, what language to use or how to respond when someone seems to be struggling.
Building awareness is not about turning people into experts. It is about giving them a stronger foundation: understanding some of the factors that can affect mental health, recognising signs that someone may need support and feeling more able to approach conversations without judgement. The training below offers different ways to build that confidence, from broad awareness to more focused subjects.
