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
Really informative. Trainer ensured everyone had a chance to comment and also checked in regularly over the morning to make sure that people’s expectations were being met. (DN)
I really enjoyed the variety and nature of the session. I found the variety of Beren using slides, drawing diagrams, providing simple explanations, and asking for group input via the chat and speaking to be really effective. I definitely learned a lot and the session flowed really well. I would recommend the course to anyone interested in Mental health or even if they are not because it is very important to have an understanding both personally and professionally. The only negative I can think of was Beren’s internet issues! (SM)
I have had this training in the past and it is still as good as it was then. The session was very interactive and Beren was great at facilitating discussions which enabled others to open up about mental health and personal experiences. I would be happy to take part in this course again. (RC)
I would recommend this course to others. Very good overview and time to reflect on relevant issues/feelings. Found the strategies useful such as the bucket, crisis management and Mindfulness exercise. Good exploration of the terms used in mental health and what they mean. (PT)
Really enjoyed. Thank you. (TS)
This was another really practical and useful training course. Thank you. (GF)
An excellent way to spend 2 hours. I thought the online 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. (KB) 06.05.20
