Free Mental Health First Aid training

By Mrs Jeffries, in SEND SUPPORT - Friday, 15 December 2023

The NHS are running a FREE one day course on mental health first aid training for parents and carers of children between 8 and 18 years old. It is on 30th January 930am-4pm and is taking place at Robertson House on Gunnelswood Road in Stevenage. 

Take a look at the attached pdf to find out more about the course structure and let us know if you attend. It'd be great to get people who attend to share their thoughts at a future coffee session. The content looks great and so useful! 

You will learn an understanding of common mental health issues and how they affect young people; ability to spot signs and guide to a place of support; knowledge and confidence to advocate for mental health awareness; and skills to support positive wellbeing.
