FAQs

 It is estimated that every £1 spent on mental health support, employers stand to receive £5 in return. Mental health training is not just tolkenistic and important for financial gain. It ensures your team understands the impact of mental health issues and stigma and develops their knowledge on where to find support. This is paramount for developing a culture which embraces mental health and in turn, creating a happier and healthier workforce.

Of course, we understand it can be a difficult task to identify which training courses would best suit the needs or your team or organisation. We are experienced in helping you discover which options would best suit your needs. We can also arrange to construct a short survey for you to share with your team.

Of course, we do not want to overwhelm readers by listing every topic we deliver on our website. Currently, we write and deliver training for over 50 individual mental-health related topics. Also, every training we write is bespoke and we can mix various topics to meet your organisational and learning needs. If you would like to ask about any of these topics, please do not hesitate to email us.

Our training and courses costs vary from session to session. Some courses are fully-funded and there is also potential to receive discounts on block-booking and when choosing us as charity partner.

Yes. All of our courses are run in a group setting to reach as many people as possible. Our tutors are trained and experienced in maintaining a safe and comfortable learning environment.

There is a £10 admin fee for enrolling onto a course. If you have any issues paying this, please get in touch with a member of staff and we can discuss payment options.

Each course will have between 6-10 learners for face to face courses and up to 15  learners in our online courses, and will run between 4-6 weeks, supported by one of our highly skilled and trained tutors and a Herts Mind Network volunteer, with each session lasting around 2-3 hours.

As part of Herts Mind Networks response to the Covid-19 pandemic, we have opted to run our courses remotely via a website called Demio. After successfully booking onto a course we will send you an email link which allows you to access the session.

Demio does not require you to have a camera or a microphone to join in the learning.; by using a text chat system our learners can type a message to either the entire group or privately to the tutor.

Learners who need or want to join through video or voice chat are able to do so however this is only available on computers or laptops with a camera and/or microphone installed. It is entirely up to our learners to engage in a way that they feel most comfortable with.

Yes. We schedule in a 15 minute break at the mid-point of each session, however we know that everyone has different needs and our tutors are happy to accommodate by adding in smaller comfort breaks after discussing with the group.

We will do all we can to support with any additional needs our learners may have and will always discuss what support we can offer with you before a course starts.
