Our clients asked.
We listened.
They asked for an enhanced support programme – we developed it. This results in advocates who:
- are confident in best practice
- know what their role is
- understand the boundaries
- walk the talk on a day-to-day basis
- support each other and colleagues
This event takes the learning to another level. Our goal is for your advocates to hit the ground running with clarity on what’s expected of them.
How the Mental Health Advocate programme works
The Mental Health Advocate programme provides a deep dive into a range of topics. We work-through different scenarios, giving delegates real time practice in real-world situations:
- what do you do if somebody’s in denial?
- how do you cope when someone’s in crisis?
- how do you look after yourself?
- what do you do when a colleague is over stepping the boundaries?
These are brought to life with expert commentary and an actor. Tailored fictional case studies explore different techniques in a safe environment, usually delivered in-person.
