…make a positive contribution to positive mental health at work.

…be involved in shaping the agenda and direction.

…be a supportive colleague.

…have the skills to help colleagues who are struggling.

…have the knowledge to spot signs and symptoms of mental health conditions.

We are looking to build on the provision by offering training to a number of staff members from across all areas of the college to become Mental Health First Aiders.

The first training opportunity is on the 18^th June and we are looking for 3 new Colleagues Supporters to supplement the team.

If you would like to find out more about this rewarding and vital work, please contact me and I can explain more,

Thank you and take care.
