Free 'Mental Health Literacy' training for those who work with young people

'Action for Chilldren' has refreshed their Guide Digital Training based on feedback received from past participants and have now split the training across 2 levels:

Level 1 – Learn – this can be done as a stand alone course or as part of the full training.

Level 2 – Develop – this follows on from Learn, for those wanting to deepen their knowledge of Mental Health Disorders.

Both levels have two 2½ hour sessions over Microsoft Teams. 

Learn offers an essential foundation for mental health literacy:

• mental health terms, meaning and language
• mental health stigma
• stress and the stress response
• COVID response and recovery 

Develop offers a more in-depth knowledge base on:

• common mental disorders
• how to recognise mental disorders
• what to do
• what treatments are available to support recovery 

The training is still FREE to those working with, supporting or volunteering with young people (0-25 years old) in Wales, as it is funded by the Welsh Government to help communities across Wales become Mental Health Literate.

Please see attached for further information. Group bookings are also available with a minimum of 8 participants.
