Free training for Parents in Mental Health Peer-Support

28-January-25
FREE Mental Health Peer-Support Training with Cycle Against Suicide.

No funding is necessary to do our training. We offer it free to all volunteers in a drive to bring Peer-Support to the heart of communities as a critical part of mental health awareness and suicide prevention.

At its core, Cycle Against Suicide’s Mental Health Peer-Support Training is about people supporting people. Our training equips people with the skills and empathy to guide people in their community needing support. Our training transcends traditional boundaries, breaking down the stigma associated with mental health discussions. The benefits are profound and far-reaching. It creates a compassionate network within a community. Trained peer-supporters are attuned to subtle shifts in their community's well-being. This heightened awareness fosters a culture of
genuine care and concern.
