Let’s change the mental wellbeing conversation across Stockport together!

Message from Stockport Mind

In partnership with Stockport council, we’re excited to have launched a mental health training programme called Connect 5 – planned to run over the next few months.

Connect 5 is a series of three modules designed to help people have better mental wellbeing conversations in the workplace.

The modules will enable you and your colleagues to support your teams, clients, and service users to better manage their mental health, increase resilience and improve wellbeing, whilst offering you the tools to look after your own.

Connect 5 is ideal for anyone who works or volunteers with the public. There are three modules, all of which build on the last. Simply choose to progress through the modules depending on the requirements of your role by following Stockport Mind's socials and more for dates.

There are two sessions in the immediate future:

- 15th May - 1.30-4.30 at Disability Stockport

- 22 May - 1.30-4.30 at TBC
