MH101® - FREE Mental Health Workshop
Supporting someone experiencing mental health challenges can make a big difference to their wellbeing and recovery. But how do you know what signs to look for, and what’s the best way to help? MH101® has the answers.
Learn how to recognise signs of mental wellbeing and mental health challenges, and what helpful strategies and tools you can use to support people when they need it most.
MH101® will help you better understand and relate to what someone in mental distress might be experiencing. Learn what to do, and when, in different situations, including when there is a risk of suicide or self harm, and know when and how to get expert help.
You’ll get an overview of some of the major mental health challenges in our community – depression, anxiety, psychosis and substance use disorder, as well as learning about the impacts of stress and trauma. MH101® will also show you how to maintain your own mental health and wellbeing while supporting others.
MH101® is designed for adults 18 years old and over.
