Free mental health training workshop in Bridlington
It's taking place tomorrow morning at the town's North Library
There is a free mental health training course in Bridlington tomorrow morning.
It is being organised by Hull and East Yorkshire Mind in partnership with East Riding of Yorkshire Council.
The workshops will also enable individuals to be better equipped to spot the signs of poor mental health, how to support someone if they were struggling with poor mental health, and signpost them to the most appropriate services. They will also be providing attendees with tips and techniques on how to better manage and improve their own mental health and wellbeing.
The half-day workshop will be delivered face-to-face at various locations across the East Riding. All workshops are FREE to East Riding of Yorkshire residents. Learning takes place through a mix of presentations, group discussions and workshop activities.
Tomorrow (Friday 15th July) there will be a session at North Bridlington Library, Martongate, from 9am until 12pm, with a 10am start.
There will also be another on Wednesday 28th September from 9.30am to 12.30pm (10am start) at the Old Parcels Office, Station Approach, in Bridlington.
Lyndsey McClements, Director of Operations at Hull and East Yorkshire Mind said:
“We are really excited to be holding these workshops, and to be building on our existing partnership with East Riding of Yorkshire Council. 1 in 4 people will experience poor mental health every year, but the stigma still attached to mental health creates a barrier to people getting the help they need and deserve. By creating Mental Health Champions, we can move towards a world where no-one has to face a mental health problem alone.”
Adam Gibson, Public Health Lead for Mental Health and Suicide Prevention at East Riding of Yorkshire Council said:
“With what has been a tough couple of years for everyone, having these sessions available within communities is a great tool to raise awareness of the benefits of taking care of yourself and looking after your mental health. These sessions will allow residents to better understand mental health, to develop the skills and techniques to maintain positive mental health, and equip them with the tools to support others.
“These sessions really compliment the Healthy Minds campaign in the East Riding, which hosts a wide range of mental health information, support and services. The resources can be accessed via https://eastridinghealthandwellbeing.co.uk/healthy-minds/. ”

• A certificate of attendance
