Ambassador Of Hope Training

The Ambassadors of Hope programme is Chasing the Stigma’s accessible mental health training. Available to individuals and businesses large and small, the training focuses on how to talk about mental health, how to effectively signpost those who need help to appropriate support and how to deal with a mental health crisis.

Chasing the Stigma is a charity that has been founded on lived experiences of mental health issues, dealing with mental illness and living with positive mental health.

What does mental health training involve?

The training is accessible to all and comes in the format of a twenty minute session. This means we get straight to the point without taking too much of your time. We can deliver the training on a one to one basis or to a room of a thousand. The training, which has been awarded the Open Awards Badge of Excellence, offers a full accreditation to all participants and is focused on three key areas:

1. How to talk to somebody about their mental health, with a focus on the language to use.
2. How to properly and effectively signpost to relevant help, using the Hub of Hope.
3. Crisis management and next steps if signposting isn’t appropriate.

All participants will receive a certificate confirming their Ambassador of Hope accreditation as well as an Ambassador of Hope pin badge, which will offer the most comforting of messages to people in mental distress, without a word being spoken.
