Action for Children have refreshed the Guide Digital Training based on feedback received from past participants. It is now split the training across 2 levels:

Level 1 – Learn – this can be done as a stand alone course or as part of the full training

Level 2 – Develop – this follows on from Learn, for those wanting to deepen their knowledge of Mental Health Disorders

Both levels have two 2½ hour sessions over Microsoft Teams.

Learn offers an essential foundation for mental health literacy:

• mental health terms, meaning and language
• mental health stigma
• stress and the stress response
• COVID response and recovery

Develop offers a more in-depth knowledge base on:

• common mental disorders
• how to recognise mental disorders
• what to do
• what treatments are available to support recovery

The training is still FREE to those working with, supporting or volunteering with young people (0-25 years old) in Wales, as it is funded by the Welsh Government to help communities across Wales become Mental Health Literate. Please see attached for further information. Action for Chidlren can also offer group bookings with a minimum of 8 participants.
