HEALTH & WELLBEING
MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES The mental health services team continue to be motivated and passionate about our mission to ‘remove the barriers to mental wellbeing that prevent communities from thriving’. A highlight of the year has been delivering training to local authorities, schools, supported housing and charities on self-harm. This training was called ‘Ask Me How I Am’ and was co-produced with young people who have lived experience of using self-harm to regulate. The workshops featured an award-winning film that was created with the young people that takes the delegates through an episode of self-harm and helps them to see how best to support the young person. This project was commissioned by Fullscope, a colaboration of mental health charities of which YMCA Trinity is a part, using NHS funding.

The Department of Education (DfE) funded Senior Mental Health Leads training courses have been a huge success with 40 delegates being trained across 6 cohorts on the beginners and advance levels. This means there are now 40 more highly trained mental health lead supporting pupils daily in
schools, removing the barrier of knowledge and access to mental health for those communities.
