Sharing this in the hope that as families, friends, colleagues, or even as strangers/acquaintances - we will start to respond emphatically to a person with Bipolar when they are going through a manic or depressive episode. Thank you Peter Griffiths for giving me the permission to share this on my social media.

We wrapped up with session 3 yesterday. Participants learned useful life skills, coaching skills, tools, and techniques to improve their own and others' mental wellbeing.

We also got teary-eyed watching bits of the movie 'Good Will Hunting'. But it wasn't so bad - we ended on a funny clip/note: Robin/Sean telling Will/Matt only if he grabbed his ass it would violate the patient-doctor relationship 🤣

In session 2, we explored su***de prevention which is why we probably kinda look washed out! Sorry, Louise, I have no photoshopping skills to beautify our session 2 pictures, and perhaps keeping it raw, real and human is the beauty of it!

Doing my bit to help improve population wellbeing by teaching this amazingly insightful group of participants (from the U.K, Madagascar, Bermuda, and Nepal) information about mental well-being plus skills, tools, and techniques to apply to themselves and those they will come in contact with.

Some of the topics that we covered were:
-how to build rapport to have an open, compassionate and non-judgmental conversation with anyone
- Coaching
- the BATHE technique (no its nothing to do with a bath)
-Su***de, su***de prevention, and how to make a safety plan
- Scaling
- Problem solving
- Goal setting
- how to spot and deal with unhelpful thoughts

Contact me on [email protected] if you would like to know more about this particular 'Connect 5' training which is fully funded, or any other training, and services I provide.
