Mental Health Training
Understanding positive mental health can change your life!
Organisations that promote good mental health have lower absence rates and more contented staff.
I offer a range of training courses that are really useful and accessible to everyone.
Scotland’s Mental Health First Aid (SMHFA)
A 12 hour course that equips participants to respond to a mental health crisis in much the same way as physical first aid responds to accidents and physical illness. This training can be delivered in a range of formats from two consecutive days to six two hour sessions to fit your staff training needs.
Margaret is a member of the National Training Team for SMHFA and as such has a great deal of experience in training both first aiders and instructors.
Mental Health Awareness Training
A 3 hour course that gives participants an understanding of mental health. You will gain a good understanding of how mental health affects everyone and how to support and promote your own and others' good mental health.
Stress Managemant Training
Understanding and Managing Stress in the Workplace
A three hour course that introduces participants to the causes and effects of stress at work. Effective stress management techniques are taught including Thought Field Therapy, a technique used by Paul McKenna to change responses to stressful situations.
Effectively Managing Stress in the Workplace
A more advanced level of training to follow the above course. This session helps participants to address particular issues and to work out individual stress management plans using a range of different techniques including Mindfulness.
Communication Training
Straightforward Communication
How good are you at saying no without causing offence? How well do you deal with aggressive, difficult or troublesome individuals? This three hour course will teach basic skills in pleasant, clear communication that does not leave you feeling undermined or defensive. This course is both useful and fun. It will help communication in the workplace and in your personal life.
