Often we have to deal with people experiencing mental distress in our work place or within our own family, but often we lack the skills and confidence to support them appropriately.

With one in four of us affected by mental health problems each year, service providers across Wales are being offered a new short training course to deal more effectively with these challanges.

The 12 hour course does not train you to be a therapist, counsellor or mental health professional. It will teach you to:
a) give initial help to someone experiencing a mental health problem
b) deal with a crisis situation or the first signs of someone developing mental ill health
c) guide people towards appropriate help.

An interactive and fun course! Topics covered are: Eating Disorders, Depression, Suicide, Bi-Polar, Anxiety, OCD, Phobias, PTSD, Panic Attacks, Psychotic Illness such as Schizophrenia, Self Harm and Drug and Alchohol Abuse.
