Current Mental Health Awareness dates will be transitioning to Digital Delivery due to Government Guidance around Social Distancing with COVID-19.
We will also be offering new dates and sessions via ZOOM if there is increased interest whilst people are working from home – so do E-Mail us if you would like to access this training.
Mid-Kent Mind’s MHA training is broken into two distinctive tiers of training.

Tier Two training is valued at £45 per person, and goes into more intermediate levels of detail – exploring some of the more prevalent mental health problems which people may encounter, and exploring them in more detail. This training session lasts for three hours, and includes the following:
- Basic facts and Awareness

Tier Three is our highest-value training package, and focusses on understanding self-harm and eating disorders before exploring these sensitive topics in more detail. This is a three hour training session which includes the following:
Self-Harm – Facts and awareness
- Recognise signs and understand the causes
- Introduce the self-harm cycle
- Myth busting and harm minimisation/delay techniques
Eating disorders – Facts and awareness
- Recognise signs of Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge Eating, OSFED
- Understanding Body Dysmorphia and Muscle Dysmorphia (Bigorexia)
- Understand cause and maintenance factors
- Introduce the link between Autism and Anorexia Nervosa
We recommend you undertake Tier One training before undertaking Tier Two training, as the content covered in Tier One is only briefly touched on in Tier Two training.
Similarly, you may wish to undertake Tier Two training before transitioning into our Tier Three training.
We would like to remind you that the topics undertaken as a part of this training can be sensitive for many. Please feel free to e-mail our team ahead of time if you are worried that the training we offer may be too distressing for you to undertake. It is important to us that the people accessing our training feel comfortable doing so.
