Mental Health in Scouts Workshop

We are pleased to offer a new mental health in Scouts workshop.

This learning session is designed to offer some guidance and additional training on Mental Health awareness in Scouting, covering many subjects that you might come across as a volunteer working with young people. The session will give you help, guidance and confidence on a subject some people might find daunting.

The session will be run by a professional, who is a cognitive behaviour psychotherapist, a registered mental health nurse and a Scout Leader.

The Couse will include the following:

• What is Mental Health, The big picture and why does this matter in Scouting.
• Spotting the Signs
• How to start a conversation, and what next.
• Suicide prevention and responding to high risk situations.
• Your Role in Scouting, Limitations, The Boundaries, when to discuss with the team.
• Safeguarding, Your duties and rolls, How and when to Report/Escalate (Yellow card)
• A discussion on some scenarios

Monday 22nd September 19:15 to 21:30. Online and limited to 30 participants
