Public Health Somerset have provided funding to deliver free courses for frontline workers and volunteers within Somerset typically from the following areas:
ASIST is a face-to-face interactive workshop in suicide intervention. This course teaches learners to recognise when someone may have thoughts of suicide and work with them to create a plan that will support their immediate safety.
This face-to-face course is an internationally recognised training course which teaches people how to spot the signs and symptoms of mental ill health and provide help on a first aid basis. MHFA won’t teach you to be a therapist, but just like physical first aid, it will teach you to listen, reassure and respond.Â
This face-to-face course provides learners with an understanding of common mental health issues and the ability to spot signs of mental ill health. Learners also gain confidence to advocate for mental health awareness and challenge stigma.
Our Emotional support and mental health helpline is now available as a live webchat !
Available every day from 8-11pm.
