Accredited
Training & Education Packages
At Thinkwell we offer a number of registered and accredited training packages to meet your organisational or group needs. Accredited mental health training courses are designed to increase awareness, confidence and response to someone struggling with a mental health issue in any setting. The knowledge learnt enables the participant to provide a first aid level intervention in any setting. Participants are reassured that their learning does not make them experts or able to solve all problems for someone or themselves, nor are they designed for participants to become councillors. They are designed to empower people to be confident in having a conversation if they identify someone struggling and linking the person in to professional help.
