Professionals and Workplaces - Fully Funded Training
Would you like to access free training to help understand the specific mental health complexities faced by individuals from racialised communities? Would you like to be a more inclusive employer?
Individuals from racialised communities have specific and nuanced experiences, which can create additional mental health barriers of which we may not be aware.
Through our training programme, we will be informing community organisations, service providers, and professionals on these specifics in order to improve access to their services and create a more inclusive workforce for their employees.
