What is the Healthy Minds resource?
Healthy Minds is a universal resource which aims to promote basic awareness and understanding of mental health and topics that are associated with and can impact on mental health and wellbeing. It is a cascading and capacity building resource that aims to support partners and organisations deliver on the public mental health agenda. The focus of Healthy Minds is prevention and early intervention.
The sessions can be delivered in person or online. Please read our Healthy Minds information leaflet carefully before accessing the resource: Healthy Minds Information leaflet.
Who can use Healthy Minds?
The resource is aimed at anyone who has an interest in raising awareness of mental health and wellbeing. You don’t need any prior experience or qualifications to deliver any of the sessions. It is not a training resource but a tool to raise awareness of basic mental health and areas that can impact on mental health and wellbeing.
