Here in a very soggy Manchester to speak at the Matillion annual conference for the 3rd year running. Topic: in these tough times, how do we spot the signs of poor mental health in our colleagues and then support them appropriately.

Sporting the high-vis vest yesterday to deliver my first safeguarding course! Another string to my bow. Made even more special to deliver where my dad worked throughout my childhood and a stone’s throw from my childhood home ❤️

Huge thank you to and for an amazing mental health first aid course over this last two weeks 🙏🏽 I am now qualified in mental health first aid in the workplace. Absolutely brilliant course 💜

📢💚In April and May, we are running TWO Youth Mental Health First Aider courses with Saltaire Training Company for our 16+ young people, AND for parents or adults who want to learn more about how to support children's mental health.

✔️This course will be useful to support young people understanding how to recognise and manage certain emotions

✔️ Helps their peers with upcoming pressure of revision, studies, and exams at GCSE and A-Level (or degree level).

✔️It is also fantastic, not only for their personal development, but as an internationally recognised course to add to their CV, UCAS statement and job applications!

📅The YMHFA course for 16-19 year-olds (or older siblings) is on Saturday 22nd April 09:00-17:00 and Saturday 29th April 09:00-17:00.

📅The YMHFA course for parents and adults interested is on Saturday 20th May 09:00-17:00 and Sunday 21st May 09:00-17:00

Am really excited to be working with Sowing Seeds Tuition & Well-Being. They do amazing work!

😌This week’s Confident and Calm workshop focused on using a stress ball as one method to manage stress and frustration. And…what better way of making this a memorable session than by helping them create their own stress ball-or ‘anti-stress ball’!

🙈Admittedly, there was far more confidence than calm before the relaxation in this evening’s session with flour, rice and lentils, but as it was our Confidence Coach Sammy’s birthday, what better way to celebrate-thank you Sammy! 🥳

💚It was lovely seeing all of the kids enjoy themselves, persevere and making a stress ball unique to them. They also asked for help…which is something that many lacked confidence doing when they first joined!💪

🙏Thank you to Mandy from Saltaire Training Company for joining us tonight too! 😁 We can’t wait to work with Mandy - she has a wealth of experience not only as a former teacher, but as a Youth and Adult Mental Health First Aid trainer. We are so pleased that she shares the same values as us about young people’s mental health and supporting parents/carers as we launch more Confident and Calm workshops across Bradford!

🥰We will be sharing more in the coming weeks about all of our other exciting partnerships in the local community!
