Whether you book mental health training for your team or not, it is good to know how many hours a certain format of training is. This way you can immediately plan the time of year for your team’s mental health training and book a suitable meeting room in Newport.
Half-Day Awareness Sessions
3 hour sessions which fit into a busy schedule. They cover an introduction to a range of mental health conditions and give the participants the ability to recognise early signs and have a basic supportive conversation with individuals who are affected by mental health problems.
Full-Day Courses
This course provides staff and managers with practical skills to deal with mental health issues on an ongoing basis. Staff will have the confidence and knowledge to respond to people in crisis, dealing with the issue in an appropriate manner, with the correct listening skills and action plan in place.
Two-Day Programmes
The most comprehensive training, with the highest recognition across the sector. Typically a 2-day course, covering crisis, listening and action planning. This format of Mental Health Training Courses Newport are provided by the majority of training providers.

Multi-Session and Blended Courses
The total contact time is equivalent to a full day of training but is spread out in a manner that is easy to fit into busy schedules.
What Adds to the Total Time
Any reading to do beforehand, any assessment (should be accredited then) and journey time to the training venue (which for a 2 day course could be up to 3 hours in total) should also be factored in.
