Connect 5: Mental Wellbeing Training
_edited.jpg)
Connect 5 is a mental health training programme made up of three progressive modules. Designed to improve mental wellbeing conversations in the workplace, it equips individuals with the skills, confidence, and knowledge to support others, while also enhancing their own mental wellbeing.
Connect 5 is ideal for anyone working or volunteering in a public-facing role across Greater Manchester.
Connect 5 helps to break down stigma, raise awareness, increase understanding, and foster better support around mental health. It is grounded in the evidence based ‘Five Ways to Mental Wellbeing’ framework and other proven psychological approaches.
How it Works
Module 1: (3 hours) Brief Advice: An introductory session suitable for anyone having occasional conversations about mental wellbeing at work and in social contexts. It provides foundational knowledge and skills.
Module 2: (4 hours) Brief Intervention: Expands on Module 1 by introducing motivational questioning techniques and guidance on recognising and responding to signs of suicide. This module is ideal for those involved in more in-depth wellbeing conversations.
Module 3: (4 hours) Extended Intervention: Builds on the previous modules by offering a deeper exploration of tools and techniques to support ongoing mental wellbeing. It is suited for those regularly engaging with individuals to improve their wellbeing.

"Marie really tailored the content as she went around our knowledge and roles which meant that we could skip a lot of the more basic stuff and have more in-depth conversations around things we knew less about. The delivery was varied and really engaging and we explored topics I've never explored in mental health training."
