Our Courses
Mental Health Awareness
We are now offering some courses online via video conferencing software, please click here if you'd like to view dates and book.
Implementing a training programme focusing on improving mental wellbeing in the workplace involves changing the culture of the whole organisation. Our mental health courses encourage the development of a learning organisation where understanding of, and openness towards mental health is actively promoted. Our work with Wigan CCG has already shown the significant value of senior managers attending and engaging in these courses, demonstrating the organisational support for the outcomes that are expected.
The course aims to help organisations become more sensitive to mental health matters, with the aim of being able to recognise issues earlier, and to support and signpost staff effectively if mental ill health or mental illness is identified.
It is a fascinating and enjoyable day bringing real insight to all who attend and is delivered by a truly inspiring and knowledgeable trainer, Beren Aldridge. See here for more about Beren.

Key Feedback
Very useful to chat with other managers and share tips and ideas with Beren’s guidance. Some very useful tools to use with the practice team. (SH)
It was really helpful to hear how other people in similar situations are coping and to share ideas on how to cope. In a job where you can sometimes feel alone in your practice it was good to be reminded that there are other people with the same issues outside of your practice. (AP)
An excellent way to spend 2 hours. I thought he training was excellent and I feel my goals have been met. I will start to include the stress bucket tool and the mindfulness technique into my daily routine as well as sharing these with other colleagues. Thank you Beren.
Well worth attending if you find yourself drowning a little in the current climate. Dr Aldridge helped the group rationalise our feelings and made some excellent suggestions on boundaries to ensure our ‘stress buckets’ don’t overflow. I am genuinely going to put into action some small changes that can help prevent that overflow such as switching emails off from 6pm and muting whatsapp groups in an evening. Thank you Dr Aldridge. Your support today is much appreciated. (CS)
I have really enjoyed the training today. I feel I now have a deeper understanding about mental health. (JB)
