Upcoming Mental Health Courses

Since November 2021 we have trained hundreds of Mental Health Community Champions, with all 5 of our market towns achieving Mindful Town accreditation. Several villages have also achieved the status, joining a network of more mindfully connected places. Our Champions have taken part in a number of courses including: Mental Health First Aid, Suicide Awareness, Mental Health in the Workplace and Wellbeing Champions Training. 

Our training programme continues to develop and offer new courses thanks to our training provider partners. This includes Norfolk and Waveney Mind, Wellbeing Norfolk and Waveney, and Swaffham and Litcham Home Hospice.

Together we have created 'Mindful Towns,' which offers a free programme of Mental Health Champion training. This is available to Breckland community groups, organisations, and small businesses, through which they can:

• Learn and understand more about Mental Health
• Develop the confidence to support someone in need and signpost them on to help
• Contribute towards making the places they live and work more 'Mindful' spaces to be
• Receive support to generate 'Mindful' activity within their local communities 

Course places are limited, so make sure to book in advance.
