Connect 5 Training
Action Together is supporting the delivery of Connect 5 training across Oldham's VCFSE sector. Connect 5 is a mental health promotion training programme designed to increase the confidence & skills of front-line staff & volunteers around mental health & wellbeing. As we continue to witness the impact of the cost of living crisis on those that we support in our day-to-day roles, this training & the knowledge that it provides will be a valuable resource.
In partnership with Connect 5 trainers across Oldham, we offered this training out to VCFSE organisations at no cost. In the first instance, we encouraged uptake of session 1, with the opportunity to then progress through all 3 sessions of the programme.
