Connect 5 - Module 2 (Online)

Stockport & District Mind are working in partnership with Stockport Council, our Connect 5 programme sponsors, to roll out Connect 5 mental health training. We are super proud and hope you take a lot away from these valuable sessions.

Connect 5

Connect 5 enables you to support others including your colleagues and service users to better manage their mental health, increase their resilience and ultimately improve their wellbeing, whilst also offering you the tools to look after your own. Connect 5 is underpinned by the '5 ways to mental wellbeing' and cognitive behavioural theory.

There are three modules all of which build on each other and help to raise awareness and offer valuable guidance, techniques, and information.

Module 1 is a fantastic course which can be undertaken on its own and is designed for one-off conversations around mental wellbeing. In this session you'll learn about two mental health models which incorporate the 5 ways to mental wellbeing and more.

Module 2 builds on the knowledge and techniques you've learnt in module one and introduces basic motivational questioning techniques. You will learn to apply what you've learnt. It also discusses suicide and how you can identify signs as well and how to support others. It is suitable for people who maybe having more in-depth wellbeing conversations in their roles.

Module 3 again builds on the previous two modules, looks at exploring further techniques as well and looking after our own wellbeing. It is suitable for people who are meeting people on a regular basis to help improve wellbeing and shares relevant resources so you can continue to support others.

You can choose to progress through the modules depending on the requirements of your role.

Your trainer is Colette.
