These trainings aims improve your knowledge and understanding of disability, mental health, and ableism, giving you the opportunity to make your service more inclusive and informed. Anyone who works with vulnerable individuals, offers mental health or care services, or would like to learn more about systems of oppression around health and ability could benefit from one or more of these trainings.
I aim to make my training resources as accessible as possible, both in terms of how they are offered and pricing. If you are a charity or small company that could benefit from some training but can’t afford the full price, please get in touch. If there are any requirements or adjustments I can make around how we deliver a training to you or your staff, let me know.
I are also able to design a bespoke training that combines any of the topics covered with the particulars of your work or the communities you work with – find out more here
Please be aware that none of the trainings offered are clinical in nature, and that theywill not qualify you to offer counselling or treatment
