It is necessary for all MHFAiders to maintain their knowledge and skills after initial training.
These psychoeducational workshops will offer a ‘deep dive’ into a particular aspect of mental health, helping staff to feel more equipped and confident when supporting students or colleagues in distress. They are run by qualified counsellors from the University Student Counselling Service.
Duration
Each masterclass will last 60-75 minutes.
Audience
These masterclasses are not only open to MHFAiders but also to all University staff in welfare roles. We recommend each MHFAider attend a minimum of two masterclasses per year.
Cost
Each masterclass is charged at £40 per person.
