Union training for mental health champions
[ch 5: page 44]With the help of Mind Cymru and Time to Change Wales, the UNISON Cymru/Wales disabled self-organised group developed a mental health champions training programme for members. Participants complete a two-day training course, designed by the group and run with the assistance of a mental health practitioner. The training gives members the confidence and skills needed to help colleagues with mental health problems by directing them to the best available help and support.
