Course Overview

This blended learning course increases delegates’ mental health awareness. Blended learning is a mixture of self-led pre-course learning activities and interactive online group training.

Delegates will explore their own mental health and the impact it has on their lives in and out of the workplace. The role of stigma and misconceptions about mental ill health on our willingness to talk openly about mental health will be discussed, and the language that we use in our conversations about mental health and that we see in the media.This training encourages delegates to explore what is happening for them, as well as what may be happening in their colleagues' work and personal lives.

Thriving Communities Social Prescribing Project

The sessions are part of the Thriving Communities Social Prescribing project, funded by The National Academy of Social Prescribing and The Arts Council, delivered by The Arts Development Company together with Stepping Into Nature, Active Dorset and Help & Care. We would like to encourage you to keep up to date with further training opportunities, taster sessions and resources that the project has to offer by keeping an eye on our website: Thriving Communities
