Who we are

• Parents
• Teachers
• General healthcare professionals
• Mental health professionals
• Youth workers
• Support workers 
• Young people

These will be online courses, as well as face to face classes and workshops. Face to face classes can be one off classes, ranging from a few hours to a 3 day course, or can be weekly sessions over a long period of time. 

Training includes: 

• Mental Health First Aid
• Information on specific mental health conditions
• Stigma and discrimination around mental health
• Looking after your own mental health
• Building resilience
• The use of social media
• How to support young people you work with

Information and resources around young people’s mental health will be made easily available both online and offline. 

We are currently looking for Trustees to help bring the charity to life.
