Training

Coronavirus Update Dec 2020 - During this time we can still offer support and training for you, your business or organisation via our Virtual Mental Well-Being Training. Courses offered are of varying length, using a virtual classroom facility as follows:

• Mental Health Awareness - General and Covid-19 Specific Versions.
• Mindfulness
• 10 Ways to Mental Resilience
• York Mind Mental Health First Aid - General, Staff and Manager versions available
• Suicide Prevention
• Managing Stress and Anxiety
• First Aid for Mental Health (accredited version)

We hope to be able to deliver 2 day Mental Health First Aid again from Spring with the first date being 28-29 April 2021 - contact Mark on mark.willis@yorkmind.org.uk to reserve a place. No fee or obligation at this stage.

It terms of other face to face training, we will be following government guidelines on social distancing and will offer our usual suite of courses (see below) when deemed safe to do so. We are hoping this is from Spring 2021 but most of our courses are operational via virtual platforms such as Zoom and Teams. We have delivered a few hundred hours of training virtually in 2020 and can help you with the logistics of this.

Finally - if we can offer help in any way during this difficult time, whether that is arranging a virtual course or just wanting a chat, please email our Training Manager - mark.willis@yorkmind.org.uk 

We provide training to a wide range of organisations in York and the surrounding areas including corporate clients, schools, colleges, statutory bodies and other charities. We deliver training to around 2500 people each year. The courses we offer include:

• ASIST – Suicide Prevention (2 days)
