Action Together are supporting the delivery of Connect 5 training across Oldham's VCFSE sector. Connect 5 is a mental health training programme, delivered over 3 sessions, and designed to increase the confidence and skills of front-line staff and volunteers around mental health and wellbeing. The course aims to build the capacity and capability of the workforce to have more proactive and evidence-based conversations about mental health, promoting mental wellbeing, preventing mental health deterioration and when necessary, identifying and taking appropriate action to address mental distress.
Supported by a fantastic network of Connect 5 trainers this training is fully funded for Oldham-based VCFSE staff and volunteers. In the first instance we are encouraging uptake of session 1, with the opportunity to then progress through all 3 sessions of the programme. If yourself or your organisation are interested in finding out more about the Connect 5 training offer, or if you would be interested in attending a future session please get in touch with Josie Bades.
We do now have availability for sessions scheduled to take place in November and December @ Civic Centre - see here for details.
