Whether you are interested in supporting your own wellbeing or someone else’s, as the largest mental health charity in Norfolk and Waveney, our training team are uniquely placed to provide you with high-quality, relevant and interactive training on mental health, wellbeing, and mindfulness.

You may be an individual looking to learn more about mental health or mindfulness, an employer wanting to support your staff with effective training, or a school/college looking to provide your children and young people with new ways to manage anxieties that you see arising in their experience.   
 
Our qualified and experienced training team can provide the resources and tools needed to learn about mental health, wellbeing, self-compassion and mindfulness.
 
We regularly run open training courses for individuals, and offer competitive rates for any of our courses delivered directly to local businesses. We also welcome invitations to consult with businesses and design bespoke training courses or programmes to meet individual requirements.

Training in educational settings

At Norfolk and Waveney Mind, we fully understand the pressures all educational establishments undergo on a regular basis, for pupils, teachers and support staff alike

With this in mind, we have developed specialist training packages, such as Dealing with Academic Stress, Emotional Intelligence and Staff CPD to help you better understand the effects of poor Mental Health within your school or college.

We understand that a ‘one size fits all’ approach is not always appropriate as you may have differing requirements within your setting, so along with the standard training packages we can already deliver, we welcome the opportunity to offer bespoke training courses designed to meet your specific needs.

" I really appreciated having informed and interesting discussions about the importance of mental health, signs of poor mental health and ways to look after yourself and support others.

I learned to recognise the patterns when another person is not feeling well and known how to help. And also learned to detect which situations make us feel stressed and know how to deal with this. "

" Greatly adapted for online. Lots of information fitted into small amount of time.

The pace of delivery was spot on. All attendees were encouraged to contribute and, when responding, their input was appreciated and valued by the trainers. Excellent.
 
First virtual training I have attended. Fully informative, engaging and well presented, held my attention throughout. "

" I feel that it has enhanced my knowledge and provided me with extra tools and understanding to help manage my team. "

" I really enjoyed this and feel strongly that it’s time for all services to share their skillset without the constraints of policy and move forward together.

The tools I have been given will help me sport signs for MH/suicide and feel more confident to ask questions and identify best support groups. "

" It gave me the confidence to deal with the issues head on rather than skirting around the subject as well as considering different places for support for people and reconsidering what the signs may be that someone is contemplating/planning suicide.

I only took the course on Friday afternoon, but I have already been able to reflect on conversations I have had in the workplace and how I would deal with certain scenarios now I have attended the course.

The best thing about the course was the opportunity to learn about a sensitive subject in such a clear and useable way as well as being able to freely discuss matters that arose from the training. "
