PARTICIPANT LEARNING

Insight into the experiences of people who have mental health and/or substance use issues and/or who are homeless, and an understanding of how to enhance their conversations.

The extra bonus is that the skills learned can be used in everyday life.

This is a participatory workshop, not a “just sit and listen”. So, bring your questions, thoughts and comments and let us support you to support others in even better ways.
