SUMMARY:Raising Awareness of Domestic Abuse training
DESCRIPTION:There is a requirement that the Raising Awareness of Domestic Abuse Training course is completed by all clergy\, PTO\, Readers\, Bishop and Pastoral visitors\, Parish Safeguarding Officers\, PCC and lay chapter members. It is estimated that domestic abuse affects 1 in 3 women and 1 in 7 men. Therefore\, we will all know people who are victims and perpetrators of domestic abuse. \nThe aim of the module is designed to equip participants to engage thoughtfully and proactively with the issue of domestic abuse and those affected. \nWe recognise that not everyone will wish to complete modules online so we are also offering some face-to-face sessions. This might be a good way to ensure that people feel safe and supported when accessing the training\, particularly with this module. \nThis course will be run at Abbey Garden Cafe\, Tewkesbury Abbey Visitors Centre\, Church Street\, Tewkesbury \nTo book a place\, please email: ku.gro.coidsolg@gniniartgnidraugefas \n

SUMMARY:MHFA Youth Training - Day 1 of 2
DESCRIPTION:Youth · MHFA England \nMHFA Youth Mental Health First Aid courses are for anyone who lives with\, works with\, or supports young people aged 8 to 18. \nWe train the adults in a young person’s life to have the skills and confidence to identify poor mental health and provide first-level support where it’s needed. In doing so\, they can speed up a young person’s recovery\, prevent their mental health from deteriorating\, and ultimately save lives. \nWhat’s more\, by giving learners the tools to look after their own mental health\, we can set a positive example for young people. We need to show that mental health should be treated equally to physical health\, and that it’s okay to talk about it and to ask for help. \nThis course will be over 2 days and you do need  to attend both days – Saturday 3rd & Saturday 10th October from 9.00am – 5.00pm. \nVenue – TBC \nCost – you need to cover the cost of the MHFA Workbook approx £32 \nTo book a place please email ku.gro.coidsolg@gniniartgnidraugefas
