Whilst we only provide links to EXPLORE mental health training, we may expand this later to our full 15 wellbeing topics as partners come on board. See below for a list of courses you can access, mainly online, ranging from short courses to longer, more in depth training.
Courses on mental health awareness, mental wellbeing, trauma informed practice, healthy lifestyles and many more topics in sub categories from our ‘15 wellbeing factors’ range from face to face funded courses to online courses from 1 hour up to multiple sessions.
