First Aid for Mental Health Workshops

We’re delighted to announce that DDYC will be hosting a series of four First Aid for Mental Health Workshops delivered by Tom Tate from ‘WhyMind?’. 

The workshops are free and will be delivered via Zoom

Each workshop is for one of four specific target groups: young people, those aged 18–25, church leaders, and parents. They will last around one hour and will cover:

  • Introduction to first aid for mental health

  • Practical steps for helping others

  • Signs/symptoms

  • Listening skills

  • Signposting 

These workshops are designed to help us recognise signs in people’s lives that show all is not well and how to signpost people towards help and support.
