Congratulations to our MD Elise who is now a qualified Mental Health First Aider on completion of the course with Mental Health First Aid England & Open Road Learning LTD 🎓 We are proud to have two mental health first aiders at Anthem creating a safe space and environment for anyone needing to talk 🖤

THOUGHT OF THE DAY
The strongest among us aren’t those who show strength you can see, but those who have won incredible inner battles you know nothing about. So be kind. You can’t always see people’s pain, but they can always feel your kindness. Being kind to people is a peaceful way to live, and a beautiful legacy to leave behind.

Really excited to be working with NASC to help provide funded Mental Health First Aid training. We’ve got online dates available in Sept and Nov, or if you would prefer something just for your business we have dates throughout late Summer and Autumn. Please get in touch for details.

Well Done to our newly qualified Mental Health First Aiders. A fabulous group of people, who are all keen to make a difference. If you’d like to learn how to support someone with their mental health, and to reduce stigma and discrimination about poor mental health, please get in touch.

We have a range of different online courses to help you to develop your knowledge and skills.

Session 1 Online Mental Health First Aid. Amazing bunch of people. Can’t wait for session 2 on Friday!
