Who should attend?
This three day training course is ideal for Mental Health First Aid Responders, for Senior Managers, Human Resources or Welfare Staff responsible not only for their own wellbeing but for supporting the mental health of other staff within the workplace. It is also suitable for staff who have identified that they are currently struggling with their mental health/wellbeing and are looking for additional strategies to address this. This three day course would also be suitable to frontline staff working in the emergency services who are dealing with trauma every day which inevitably impacts on their own wellbeing. Within the school or college setting it would be ideal for teachers and Head teachers dealing with the welfare of pupils.What will be covered?
Key Concepts of WRAP are discussed in more depth than can be offered through the one or two day courses, due to the time constraints of the shorter courses, however the topics remain the same. Please look at the one or two day course for the subject matter. The three day course allows Learners to consolidate the course material and provides more time for reflection and active participation.
Course objectives are to provide Learners with hope, empowerment, personal responsibility, self advocacy and education on the broad subject of mental health and wellbeing, both personal and colleagues. The three day course aims to focus on ongoing work of dealing with trauma, suicide prevention, building self-esteem, changing negative thought patterns to positive ones and building a lifestyle that promotes wellness.
