Equipping our local community with greater mental health understanding
Our achievements
Throughout the year, the training team has seen many achievements. We won the Warwickshire County Council Suicide Community of Practice contract and extended our annual wellbeing schedule with Shell. Our trainers are now certified in Mental Health First Aid and Suicide First Aid, and we have upgraded our digital presence using social media and Eventbrite. We have also undertaken a full review of our training provision.
The course was extremely informative and Nikita was attentive to the needs of the group, providing a comfortable and safe environment for people to be able to share ideas and experiences
4 in 5 attendees
said their knowledge and confidence improved after completing one of our courses.
In 2023–2024, we trained 698 internal attendees, 684 external attendees, and 65 individuals on Mental Health First Aid.
Looking forward
Over the next year, we’ll work to expand our online presence and delivery of MHFA and SFA. We will get out into the community and target rural communities, as well as record our customers’ staff numbers to increase our reach. We are also looking to introduce trauma-informed content to our internal training.
