Daybreak training was established to help raise awareness of a range of mental health issues. We seek to provide ordinary people with greater understanding and confidence when faced with someone experiencing mental distress. Our courses enable them to offer immediate support until professional help can be obtained.
We work with staff and volunteers in companies, statutory bodies, voluntary organisations, schools and colleges, as well as with members of the public. Our courses are practical and accessible and give participants the confidence and skills they need. In turn, this ensures greater well being in the workplace and the wider community.
Mental health problems are extremely prevalent in England. One in four of the population are experiencing a serious mental health issue at any given time. Not only does this cause great distress to those individuals and to those close to them but it also has a huge impact on society as a whole. Some 30% of employees experience mental ill health each year which means over 91 million working days lost at a cost of over £12 billion per annum.
Daybreak Training’s response to this situation is to help introduce six important courses: Mental Health First Aid, Introduction to Mental Health, ASIST, SafeTalk, Youth Mental Health First Aid and from Spring 2011, a new 3 hour Introduction to Youth Mental Health course. Each one helps to combat the impact and the stigma of mental ill health in the workplace and wider community. The courses are for anyone: family, friends, colleagues and people whose work might bring them into contact with someone in mental distress. Our partners include, the National Mental Health Development Unit, The Royal Society for Public Health, MIND, Mental Health First Aid Australia and LivingWorks Education Canada.
Do contact us via our email info@daybreaktraining.co.uk or over the phone 07761-228702 for further information and to discuss what we can offer you. The cost of courses depends on the number of participants and the number of courses requested. We also offer concessionary rates for community and voluntary organisations. |
