Wellbeing Champion Training
Wellbeing Champions care about where they live and work and understand the importance of talking about mental health and well-being. This training is for anyone, but especially useful for organisations such as schools, businesses, charitable or community organisations.
Training
The training is 1 to 1½ hours long, and offers basic education about mental health, why people may struggle and signs you may notice when someone is having a hard time. You will also learn how you might approach someone and start a conversation. Finally, you will learn about the NHS Talking Therapies Service and how we can offer support so you can effectively signpost. You will receive a PDF booklet afterwards with all the information covered in the training and a comprehensive FAQ with information about Wellbeing and other services to help you signpost, as well as some resources to use in your workplace, business or other community setting.

Feedback from previous sessions:
“It was a good guide of how to support people experiencing emotional difficulties using different strategies and conversation points. The course has also allowed me to find out more about the wellbeing service and different services it has got on offer.”
“I think this worked very well! Often these training courses can be quite intimidating for those who are not "professionals" as such, but they were so relatable as people they instantly put me at ease.”
“This was an amazing online training both in terms of information and presentation. The principles you’ve laid out have strengthened and transformed my understanding of wellbeing and given me a foundation in how I can support people in my communities.”
“As an anxiety sufferer myself joining a zoom session was daunting but I was instantly put at ease and made to feel welcome. I thoroughly enjoyed it and know I can take those skills to my work (and even use them with my family!)”
“It would be very beneficial for the volunteers I manage.”
