Mental Health Risk Awareness for Parents

We train you to recognise a mental health crisis before it happens

A gatekeeper is a person who is in a special position to recognise the warning signs that someone is entering a mental health crisis and may even be contemplating suicide. Gatekeepers can be anyone but as parents you are best positioned strategically to recognise and assist your child or teenager at risk from a mental health crisis. We train you so you can recognise and understand the warning signs BEFORE they become a crisis. Our training also covers how to reduce the risk factors affecting your child and increase the protective factors that provide support.

The more parents who are trained the more mental health risks amongst groups of friends can be reduced and crises can be caught early and successfully managed.

Just Three Hours

Our Mental Health Risk Awareness training sessions take just three hours out of your day but could help prevent a crisis in your family.

Training Materials

We provide you with everything you need for the training session. You will also receive a course handbook and wallet card to take away.

Experienced Trainers

Your trainers on the day also work in secondary schools around the country providing face to face training and support to around 14,000 to students & teachers a year. Our training is up-to-date, relevant and practical.

Certificated Training

Each participant receives a training certificate to show that they have completed our Mental Health Risk Awareness training. Please show it to your friends to encourage them to get trained as well.
