mental health training (scotland)

I am an accredited Mental Health First Aid Trainer for Adult and Young Person. I also have extensive experience delivering bespoke training across Scotland in mental health, NHS/Public Health Scotland – Healthy Working Lives, SCQF Mental Health First Aid Level 4, 5 & 6 and challenging behavioural courses that support people working with children and young adults who have Additional Support Needs. I am passionate about being pro-active and making change for the better and recently qualified as a Scottish Government Quality Improvement leader. When I’m not delivering Mental Health training, I volunteer my time as a Learning & Development Co-ordinator for the Children’s Hearing Panel and other third sector organisations.

the foundation for positive mental health

We are a charity dedicated to promoting skills training for positive mental health, to enhance everyday wellbeing, increase resilience to, and recovery from, mental health difficulties. We can all learn how to increase our mental fitness by using simple exercises such as breath control and sports mind training techniques. Watch the 3 1/2 minute animation opposite to see how this works. Interested in the Science behind this? See here. We run training workshops for professionals and provide resources to support socially valuable projects. Currently the charity is working to improve mental health in schools through the Feeling Good for Schools programme and also supporting wellbeing in prisons.
