Training & Development
Mental Health Awareness Training
I have developed a Mental Health Awareness 4 Hour training that can be tailored specifically to the cohort being trained. Participants learn the signs & symptons for anxiety & depression, risk & protective factors, how to help, what resources are available and includes a tailored case study to practice skills. Mental Health Awareness training reduces stigma & discrimination and promotes early intervention strategies if employees notice Mental Health issues within themselves or colleagues.
Participants Learn:
- What is Mental Health and the mental health continuum?
- What is Mental Illness?
- Risk & Protective Factors
- Anxiety & Depression signs, symptoms & treatments
- How to help
- What Resources are available
- Case Study to practice skills (this can be tailored to the cohort)
- Importance of Self Care
This course is:
- Delivered on-site
- 4 hours content + 15 min break
- Up to 16 participants
- Printed Resource provided to each participant
- Follow up email to participants with links to resources discussed
during session - Participants receive a completion certificate
Standard Mental Health First Aid
The 12-hour Standard Mental Health First Aid course is for any interested adult. You will learn how to assist an adult who may be experiencing a mental health problem or mental health crisis until appropriate professional help is received or the crisis resolves, using a practical, evidence-based action plan.
Refresher Mental Health First Aid
Refresher courses are 4 hour face-to-face courses that allow people who have previously completed a 12 hour Mental Health First Aid course to refresh their knowledge and skills. For people who are Accredited MHFAiders, the refresher courses offer an opportunity to extend their accreditation for a further 3 years.
Blended Online MHFA workplace
The Blended Online MHFA workplace course teaches participants how to assist a co-worker, or work team member who is developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis. I can facilitate the Blended Workplace Mental Health course which allows blended delivery options to suit your workplace such as enrolling your staff in the E-learning component (6 hours) and then facilitating the face to face component in your workplace (4 hours) or on-line (2 x 2.5 hours) using simulated work-based scenarios covering how to deal with a co-worker experiencing mental health challenges.

MHFA Engaging Leaders is a 90-minute session that provides information to senior leaders, decision-makers and influences about how MHFA can support mentally healthy workplaces.
MHFA for the Suicidal Person
The 4-hour Mental Health First Aid for the Suicidal Person course is for any interested adult. You will learn the skills and acquire the knowledge required to safely have a conversation with a suicidal person.

I have years of experience developing and delivering mental health & well-being, self development, financial literacy and employability skills programs for a range of participants. When developing content, I am able to draw on my diverse experience working for both myself and other businesses.
