This is a new course with 3 stages. It is for organisations, staff and volunteers who do face to face work with people experiencing poor mental wellbeing or mental health problems. Our courses are practical and interactive, supporting you to gain skills and confidence to work with people to improve their mental wellbeing.

MHEP (1) Brief Wellbeing Advice

MHEP 1 is a half-day course designed to help you better understand mental health, mental wellbeing and mental illness.  You will also learn about local services and resources that enable people to help themselves.  You will become confident to offer wellbeing advice within your everyday work role.

MHEP  1 is open to anyone who has a helping role (work or volunteering).  It is a foundation for MHEP 2 and 3.

MHEP (2) Brief Wellbeing Intervention

MHEP (3) Extended Wellbeing Intervention
