Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust, Public Health and Mental Health Friendly Places would like to invite you to this foundational training, which has been created in collaboration with and for our local voluntary and community sector, through the Better Mental Health for All Network. This training was created following a request from voluntary and community sector partners to have more knowledge and practical skills of how to support people accessing their services with mental health or personality difficulties.

The training draws on some Trauma Informed Care principles, which will help you think about how to support individuals to develop empowering connections and build fulfilling lives. You will learn how your role helps people overcome adversity through the relationships you build with them and how to support yourself.

A key ambition of the training is for professionals and voluntary sector partners to develop a consistent approach when supporting people with personality difficulties who are often bounced around from organisation to organisations.
