WHEN THIS IS THE RIGHT FIT
Examples of established programmes
1
Training focus
Practical learning across lived experience leadership, mental health, suicide prevention and culturally responsive practice.
2
Examples of established programmes
The programmes below are examples of established material. Other workshops can be commissioned for a defined audience and learning purpose.
3
Audience and format
Workshops can also be commissioned for organisational groups, carers, families and communities. The learning purpose may differ from professional development for staff. A commissioned workshop can develop a defined capability without requiring a consultancy engagement first. Formats include a focused webinar, 90-minute session, half-day or full-day workshop, conference session, or multi-session series.
ESTABLISHED DELIVERY
The programme set
Programme 01
Supporting Mental Health in Men from CaLD Backgrounds
For teams working with men from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. The programme explores how masculinity, family responsibility, migration, stigma and service experiences shape help-seeking, communication and suicide prevention conversations.
Programme 02
Across Generations: Practical Tools for Mental Health Conversations in CaLD Families
For teams working with multicultural families. The programme examines intergenerational silence, migration, identity and family expectations, with practical ways to open conversations about mental health.
Programme 03
Supervision That Sees Me: Culturally Responsive Supervision for CaLD Social Workers
For supervisors, managers and practice leads. The programme examines culture, identity, power and systemic barriers in supervision, without making the supervisee responsible for educating the supervisor. This is training in supervision, not a supervision session with Michael.
