PEERS training launch
Are you a professional who would like to understand how to navigate conversations with young people around mental health?
Do you feel you have more to learn?
This launch event will explore the PEERS training led by Newport Mind. This training is a guide for professionals on how to navigate conversations with young people about mental health in a way that is comfortable for everyone. Our team of volunteers from ages 14-25, known as Wellbeing Ambassadors, have created this programme based on real life experiences of young people in Newport.
In this launch event you will get more information about what this training entails, as well as, why it has been created. You will also get an insight into the activities involved in PEERS training.
