Mental Health Awareness training for Londoners
Free interactive online training for those working directly with people needing support for financial wellbeing in London
In collaboration with Thrive LDN, Healthy Dialogues offered a series of free three-hour interactive training modules about mental health and the impact of financial hardships.
These modules were funded and supported by the Mayor of London under the remit of the Mental Health and Wellbeing Recovery Mission, which is being delivered in partnership with Thrive LDN. The mission aims to build a coalition of wellbeing champions and empower Londoners to act to improve their own and their communities’ wellbeing.
They included an exploration of how to engage people in conversations in mental health and wellbeing and what to do when someone is experiencing a mental health or emotional wellbeing crisis.
