Training
SWR Mind Training is able to provide general and specialist mental health training throughout Scarborough, Whitby and Ryedale and, through its membership of Yorkshire and Humber Mind Consortium (YHMC), throughout the entire Yorkshire and Humber region.
Overarching aims of our training are:
- To explore, with honesty, the preconceptions and anxieties we all have about mental ill health
- To increase awareness of mental health issues and appreciate the impact that mental ill health can have on an individual's day to day life.
- To increase awareness and confidence when coming into contact with people with mental health problems.
We believe that participation in such training as illustrated below will help to demystify mental ill health and help you to identify customers who may have mental health problems and to respond to them appropriately and with confidence. It will also help you to look after your own mental health and that of your colleagues.
Training can be provided at the customers’ premises, our premises or at an Away Day for groups of up to fifteen.
All courses are delivered using a range of media and case studies. They also include discussions, group work and service user input.
