Training Opportunities

In this section you will find links to a selection of training initiatives. Some of them offer short courses in mental health while others offer resources useful for in-house training. Several projects can provide speakers for events and workshops. Your own college/university may offer training in mental health awareness or possibly Scotland's Mental Health First Aid. It is always worth contacting your institutions staff development department, student services or student counselling service to find out what is on offer or to make suggestions. Scotland's Colleges offers a range of training sessions for different staff groups within colleges. For more information please contact Sandy MacLean. The Glasgow Student Mental Health Group working with Margaret Hart (writer) has recently developed a student mental health training pack. It supports a 3 hour workshop for academic staff on supporting student mental health . All the resources for this pack are available for download on this site.
