The Mental Health Ambassador training will cover a range of topics and approaches. The aim will be to ensure Ambassadors feel comfortable talking with colleagues and listening to their conversations about mental health, illness and wellness and keeping mental health and wellbeing on the agenda.
Their role as an Ambassador will be introduced, explained and explored. The training will include the following:

Increased basic awareness of mental health
Developed confidence and skills in starting conversations in their workplace
Professionalism and healthy boundaries
Privacy and confidentiality
Risk factor vs protective factors for mental health

In addition an Ambassador will be informed about how to:

Support. Work with other people in the workplace to proactively support the mental wellbeing of staff/colleagues. Provide information about local services

Engage. Make links between the workplace and local mental health groups and organisations and encourage their members to get involved with your workplace

Share. Inform colleagues via social media and other media about Havant and East Hants Mind information, campaigns, events and services

Talk. Start conversations about mental health with colleagues

Advocate. Share guidance and information provided by Havant and East Hants Mind about mental health issues related to colleagues

Volunteer. Get involved and encourage others to participate actively in volunteer opportunities to support people experiencing mental health problems, either by direct or indirect support.

To be a Mental Health Ambassador workplaces will identify potential candidates and encourage them to complete a HEH Mind application form. HEH Mind will then recruit the Ambassador, deliver their training and provide ongoing support and resources throughout the year as required.

It's been great to see the smiles and positivity being shared following this weekends #LondonPride.

Unfortunately LGBTIQ+ people can be at a higher risk of experiencing a mental health problem than the wider population. The reasons for this are complex and not yet fully understood. However, mental health problems experienced by LGBTIQ+ people have been linked to: discrimination, bullying,
homophobia, biphobia or transphobia. (More at www.mind.org.uk/information-support/guides-to-support-and-services/lgbtiqplus-mental-health)

We work to promote good mental health within our locality, and seek to support/ empower people to lead a full life as part of their local community. To achieve these aims we challenge discrimination and promote social inclusion.

On Saturday we had our official launch of the Young People's Safe Haven. A huge thank you to Mayor of Havant Borough Council for officially opening the service and to BBC Radio Solent and The News, Portsmouth for covering the launch. An extra special thank you to the The Pallant Centre for providing such a great space for the service and to Hampshire and IOW CCG for funding the service.

Our Young Person's Safe Haven had a soft launch in April and has been open for 8 weeks and in that time we have had 77 visits from young people.

Feedback we have received from Children and Young People includes:
"I can be myself and know there are people there to help me"
"I love that I can have a one to one chat if I need to"
"It has helped me a lot, and I trust everyone there"
"I enjoy playing games, meeting new friends and the crafts"

So far we have discussed Wellbeing Topics such as Stigma, Healthy Relationships, Exam Stress, Mindfulness, Self Care and Healthy Sleep. We've also been very creative and made Mindful Glitter Jars, Scented Playdough, Stress Balls and Dream Catchers.

Future topics are Managing Negative Thinking, Body Image and Relaxation, and future crafts include Bubble Art, Slime and Mindful Origami.

"All Young People aged 11 - 17 years old in Havant Borough are welcome to drop into the service for one to one emotional support, signposting, and to get involved in wellbeing focused activities, games and crafts.

We look forward to seeing more young people at the Safe Haven." - Maria Morrell, HEH Mind Director of Services ... See MoreSee Less
