About
MHCN is excited to be teaming up with Parramatta Head to Health throughout March to facilitate three Advocacy & Capacity Development training sessions to mental health carers and consumers within Western Sydney.
About Parramatta Head to Health:
Parramatta Head to Health provides a stand-alone, multidisciplinary, collaborative service for people aged 18 years and over, experiencing moderate to high levels of mental health needs. The service is free to access, located close to public transport, and requires no referral, appointment or prior mental health diagnosis.
About our training, Carers & Advocacy: Foundations
Carers & Advocacy: Foundations introduces participants to the beginning of their advocacy journey, so carers can develop a general understanding and start to build their capacity to advocate for themselves and their loved ones. This course covers the basics of advocacy, the types of advocacy, who's involved, and features of the journey.
By the end of this course, you should understand the basics of what advocacy is, the stages of caring, the barriers and strategies in advocacy and how to use your newfound knowledge to self-empower!
Who are the courses for?
All of our training courses are designed to help educate and teach useful skills to mental health carers, families and friends. However, others such as people living with mental health conditions, mental health organisations and professionals, students and other interested individuals are welcome to attend and will still benefit from the training.
Light refreshments will be provided by the Parramatta Head to Health team for the allocated lunch break.
