Connect 5 Modules 1-3 (Online)

Excited to announce our upcoming event where we dive into Modules 1-3 of the Connect 5 program!

Duration: 8 Hours

Virtual Platform: Zoom

What is Connect 5?

• Connect 5 is an evidence-based training programme designed to promote mental health by changing the way we have conversations about mental wellbeing.

• It is comprised of three modules, each incremental in terms of skill development. Participants can attend 1, 2 or all 3 modules, but they must be completed in order (starting with Module 1).

What do Modules 1 – 3 cover?

Module 1

Introduction to public mental health models and recognised techniques, including the Crossed Axes Model of Mental Health, 3Cs of Connected Conversations and the 5 Areas Model.

How to signpost to local mental wellbeing services and resources that enable people to help themselves.

Module 2

How to use the 5 Areas Model to provide a brief, structured intervention to help a person understand their feelings and what they can do to feel better.

How to identify when a person needs more than self-help (including having thoughts of suicide).

Module 3

Self-help tools and life skills to motivate and support people in taking action to build and maintain their mental wellbeing.
