mental health learning
Cottam, Preston
We have training from 60 minutes to 2 days, teaching skills that can be applied
by everyone. • Mental Health • Self-Harm • Suicide Prevention • Workplace
Suicide is the leading cause of death in men under 49 and women under 35. With a
rise in mental ill-health, there is an ever increasing need for all individuals
to understand how to spot signs of distress, effectively respond, and support a
person in need. Mental Health Learning was founded in 2018 as a consultancy and
training provider to support members of the community and workplaces to do just
this. Our mission is to ensure that skills continue to grow amongst those who
are most likely to see the signs of mental ill-health, self-harm, and thoughts
of suicide. Our motivation is that our trainees can recognise these signs, then
intervene to reduce harm in your community or workplace. We exist not to tick a
box, but to make a difference; to teach real-life skills. We work with you and
your team to understand your needs and provide the training that is most
suitable for you. If it’s not one of our regular courses, we will develop a
bespoke course specifically for you. All our training is evidence based, and a
number of our courses are accredited. We work with places of education,
corporate companies such as Law firms and Accountancy firms, Health Care
Professionals, Housing Associations, and more, as well as general members of the
public. The majority of our training is provided in-house – when we come to you,
it typically makes the practicalities easier. We can also arrange training at a
local venue on your behalf. If you’d like to attend our training as an
individual or would like to book a workshop for your staff team, please get in
touch.
