Description
Can we HELP others without SINKING?This course is great if you:
- Could learn more from experiences of people who support and care for someone with their mental health
- Are open to thinking about how to support ourselves so that we can best support others
- Think that there is hope in coming together as a community to talk about mental health
Most people are connected to someone who has experienced or is experiencing a mental health challenge; this includes family members, friends, professionals or people in the community. This course offers an opportunity to learn from all of these perspectives and share experiences.
We’re hoping to bring people together to share in what they have learned about the impact of supporting someone with their mental health.
In coming together, we want to support you to build a sense of community and inspire a sense of hope for the future.
This event will cover:
- consider the different people that can be involved in the network of someone with mental health challenges;
- explore how the mental health challenge of one person can impact the people connected to them;
- reflect on the different experiences of people connected to someone with mental health challenges;
- consider some ideas on how to support themselves or others with their experiences.
