MH101®

MH101® will give you an understanding of some of the major mental health challenges in our communities, the experience of mental distress, and the impacts of stress and trauma. 

The workshop uses the Te Whare Tapa Whā model, which means we take an in-depth, holistic approach to understanding mental health and wellbeing. You’ll learn about what to do, and when, to support people around you experiencing mental health challenges. 

• Recognise impacts of mental health challenges. 

• Get an overview of some major mental health challenges, including depression, anxiety, psychosis and substance use disorder. 

• Learn strategies and get tools for maintaining your mental health, and the mental health and wellbeing of others. 

• Understand how your reactions can impact on other people’s thoughts, feelings and behaviours. 

• Learn how to use supportive language and perspective to build connection. 

• Learn how to respond wisely in any given situation, including the risk of suicide or self-harm. 

• Understand where, when and how to get personal and professional help. 

After the workshop, you’ll get help to apply your newfound knowledge and develop an even better understanding of what you’ve learnt with access to an interactive MH101® e-learning module that can be completed at your own pace. 

Note: MH101® is aimed at non-clinical participants. This is not a clinical workforce training course.

Public MH101® workshops are currently delivered to participants anywhere in New Zealand. These are fully funded by the Ministry of Health Te Whatu Ora; there is no cost to participants.  We can accommodate up to 25 attendees in each workshop. 

We can run workshops for a specific industry or workplace and will work with you to understand your industry and the people who will be attending.
