Better Friends Training is a peer-designed and peer-led program that strengthens your capacity to both normalise and have more conversations around mental health. You'll learn to recognise the role you can play in bridging the gap between peers with mental health concerns, and reaching out for professional mental health support. You'll participate in scenario-based activities specific to your role, and come away with resources on protecting your own mental health as a leader, particularly through setting boundaries. It's expected that, as a result of the training, you'll see positive shifts in:
- attitudes towards mental health;
- knowledge around prevalence of mental health issues;
- confidence to normalise conversations around mental health;
- confidence to take action to set boundaries.
