With over a decade of experience in mental health and wellbeing, she founded [Dandelion Coaching](https://dandelioncoach.co.uk/), a social enterprise dedicated to Menopause and Peri-Menopause Awareness. Lynsey’s session will explore feeling lost and overwhelmed by menopause and how to make it a positive story; understanding how past trauma can amplify emotional challenges during this transition. In this 45-minute session, she will share a mini-guide filled with tools and insights to help you. [Bryony Rowntree](https://bryonyrowntree.com/) works with people to ‘Root Deep, Stand Strong, and Branch Out’. She does this through 1:1 coaching and her group coaching programmes for women: Stand in Your Space, and Return to Work. She also delivers Mental Health First Aid training. Bryony works from her principle of opening up awareness, so that space is made for wiser choice...from there we have more clarity, ease, power, capacity, courage and so much more! Bryony will talk about the importance of having healthy boundaries for upholding positive mental health, whether we are in a place of healing and recovery or sustaining good health. Bryony will deliver an interactive session on boundaries; why they are important, when they are a particular challenge and need to be in place more than ever (e.g. returning to work after maternity/adoption leave, perimenopause, being a carer), and some key strategies to help you implement and maintain healthy boundaries. Jess is an advanced Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) Tapping practitioner and trainer, and the founder of [Tap into Transformation](https://tapintotransformation.co.uk/).

Rebecca is a fully qualified, ICF accredited life and business coach who set up her coaching practice Space and Clarity Coaching six years ago after a successful career in the NHS and the pharmaceutical industry. In 2022, at the age of 50 she was diagnosed with ADHD and in her words ‘finally got the answers to the whole square peg/round hole thing’. Her diagnosis has helped her make sense of years of feeling like she didn’t quite fit in with the world and the people around her. Rebecca’s talk will be focussing on her ADHD journey, sharing her experience of what she calls the ‘lightbulb moment’ when she realised that she had been effectively masking and internalising her difficulties all her life. She will also talk about how neurodivergence presents differently in women and girls, many of whom are also mis-diagnosed with multiple mental health conditions well into adulthood. She will end by sharing how empowering a diagnosis can be and with the correct help and support how many ADHD and neurodivergent traits can be turned into positives, allowing individuals to truly reach their potential and express themselves openly and honestly. Andrew has over 20 years of experience managing projects, campaigns, and teams in the voluntary sector, as well as a short stint as a Primary School Teacher.

The use of the Internet pages connected to Mental Strength and Well-Being is possible without any indication of personal data; however, if you wish to use services via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary.

Your details will be stored in an email format which is secure and encrypted. You may request the information that we hold at any time and ask for it to be deleted.

By means of this data protection declaration, our enterprise would like to inform the general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of any personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed, by means of this data protection declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled. As the controller, C & D Learning Solutions Ltd ta Mental Strength and Well-Being has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means, e.g. by telephone, email, social media etc. The data protection declaration of C & D Learning Solutions Ltd ta Mental Strength and Well-Being is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration should be legible and understandable for the general public, as well as our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to first explain the terminology used. In this data protection declaration, we use, inter alia, the following terms: Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person. Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person, whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for the processing. Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction. Under the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) C & D Learning Solutions Ltd ta Mental Strength and Well-Being process personal information about you electronically and will not share you information with any other person or organisation. We are registered with the ICO under the Data Protection Register, our registration number is: ZA377324. Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future. Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements. Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person. **g) Controller or controller responsible for the processing** Controller or controller responsible for the processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law. Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller. Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients; the processing of those data by those public authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable data protection rules according to the purposes of the processing. Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data. Consent of the data subject is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her. Controller for the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), other data protection laws applicable in Member states of the European Union and other provisions related to data protection is: C & D Learning Solutions Ltd ta Mental Strength and Well-Being Cookies are text files that are stored in a computer system via an Internet browser. Many Internet sites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited Internet sites and servers to differentiate the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID. The website of C & D Learning Solutions ltd ta Mental Strength and Well-Being collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information are stored in the server log files. Collected may be (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites, (5) the date and time of access to the Internet site, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimise the content of our website as well as its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, C & D Learning Solutions Ltd ta Mental Strength and Well-Being analyses anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject. The website of C & D Learning Solutions Ltd ta Mental Strength and Well-Being contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to our enterprise, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the data controller is stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. Currently the website of C & D Learning Solutions Ltd ta Mental Strength and Well-Being does not collect information via the website. There is no other transfer of this personal data to third parties. The data controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject to. If the storage purpose is not applicable, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or erased in accordance with legal requirements. Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her is being processed. If a data subject wishes to avail himself of this right of confirmation, he or she may, at any time, contact our Data Protection Officer or another employee of the controller. **Each data subject shall have the right granted by the Euro** pean legislator to obtain from the controller free information about his or her personal data stored at any time and a copy of this information. Furthermore, the European directives and regulations grant the data subject access to the following information: o the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organisations; o where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period; o the existence of the right to request from the controller rectification or erasure of personal data, or restriction of processing of personal data concerning the data subject, or to object to such processing; o the existence of the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority; o where the personal data are not collected from the data subject, any available information as to their source; o the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject. Furthermore, the data subject shall have a right to obtain information as to whether personal data are transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. Where this is the case, the data subject shall have the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer. If a data subject wishes to avail himself of this right of access, he or she may at any time contact our Data Protection Officer or another employee of the controller. Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject shall have the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, he or she may, at any time, contact our Data Protection Officer or another employee of the controller. Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay, and the controller shall have the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies, as long as the processing is not necessary: o The personal data is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed. o The data subject withdraws consent to which the processing is based according to point (a) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing. o The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) of the GDPR. o The personal data have been unlawfully processed. o The personal data must be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject. o The personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Article 8(1) of the GDPR. If one of the aforementioned reasons applies, and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by C & D Learning Solutions Ltd ta Mental Strength and Well-Being, he or she may at any time contact our Data Protection Officer or another employee of the controller. The Data Protection Officer of C & D Learning Solutions Ltd ta Mental Strength and Well- Being or another employee shall promptly ensure that the erasure request is complied with immediately. Where the controller has made personal data public and is obliged pursuant to Article 17(1) to erase the personal data, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the personal data that the data subject has requested erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data, as far as processing is not required. The Data Protection Officer of C & D Learning Solutions Ltd ta Mental Strength and Well-Being or another employee will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases. Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following applies: o The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data. o The processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of their use instead. o The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. o The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject. If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of the processing of personal data stored by C & D Learning Solutions Ltd ta Mental Strength and Well-Being, he or she may at any time contact our Data Protection Officer or another employee of the controller. The Data Protection Officer of C & D Learning Solutions Ltd ta Mental Strength and Well-Being or another employee will arrange the restriction of the processing. Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator, to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which was provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. He or she shall have the right to transmit that data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data has been provided, as long as the processing is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to point (b) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, as long as the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller. Furthermore, in exercising his or her right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) of the GDPR, the data subject shall have the right to have personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and when doing so does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others. In order to assert the right to data portability, the data subject may at any time contact the Data Protection Officer designated by C & D Learning Solutions Ltd ta Mental Strength and Well-Being or another employee. Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time, to processing of personal data concerning him or her, which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions. C & D Learning Solutions Ltd ta Mental Strength and Well-Being shall no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. If C & D Learning Solutions Ltd ta Mental Strength and Well-Being processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing. This applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects the C & D Learning Solutions Ltd ta Mental Strength and Well-Being to the processing for direct marketing purposes, C & D Learning Solutions Ltd ta Mental Strength and Well-Being will no longer process the personal data for these purposes. In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to object to processing of personal data concerning him or her by C & D Learning Solutions Ltd ta Mental Strength and Well-Being for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest. In order to exercise the right to object, the data subject may directly contact the Data Protection Officer of C & D Learning Solutions Ltd ta Mental Strength and Well-Being or another employee. In addition, the data subject is free in the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to use his or her right to object by automated means using technical specifications. **h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling** Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her, or similarly significantly affects him or her, as long as the decision (1) is not is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) is not authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is not based on the data subject’s explicit consent. If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) it is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, C & D Learning Solutions Ltd Mental Strength and Well-Being shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and contest the decision. If the data subject wishes to exercise the rights concerning automated individual decision-making, he or she may at any time directly contact our Data Protection Officer of C & D Learning Solutions Ltd ta Mental Strength and Well-Being or another employee of the controller. Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw his or her consent to processing of his or her personal data at any time. If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw the consent, he or she may at any time directly contact our Data Protection Officer of the C & D Learning Solutions Ltd ta Mental Strength and Well-Being or another employee of the controller. Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or services. Is our company subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR). **9\. The legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party** Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favour of the well-being of all our employees. **10\. Period for which the personal data will be stored** The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfilment of the contract or the initiation of a contract. **11\. Provision of personal data as statutory or contractual requirement; requirement necessary to enter into a contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide such data** We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our company signs a contract with him or her. The non-provision of the personal data would have the consequence that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact our Data Protection Officer at C & D Learning Solutions Ltd ta Mental Strength and Well-Being.

With an ever-increasing focus on Mental Health and Wellbeing, there is no better time to let us help you build your strategy and create an environment where people feel comfortable talking about the uncomfortable and being comfortable as their Whole Self. Creating a working space that looks after its colleagues can only be beneficial to both the company and its colleagues. We are creatures of habits and for generations Mental health and Suicide have been ‘taboo’ subjects to bring to work or even talk about them to the people we love. Talking about we feel can be seen as controversial, not talking about them can be devastating on the person and people around them. Here at Mental Strength and Wellbeing we work with you to encourage an open environment where people can talk, they have someone to talk to and they are reassured that they can talk in confidence without judgement. Creating a space that separates work from the issue and embed a Coaching culture that supports, informs and develops a safe one on one space for everyone. Training your colleagues in Mental health Awareness and Mental Health First Aid has proven to be beneficial to a lot of organisations. Does it have to be a leader? – No, it can be anyone who wants to develop their knowledge and understanding of Mental Health and Suicide Prevention. As Richard Branson quoted ‘Look after your staff and your staff will look after your customers’ Look after your Leaders and your leaders will look after their teams. Having a leadership team that is equipped to recognise the signs of mental distress or crisis and know how to approach and assist can only be beneficial for the ROI and Mental Capacity for all concerned. Reports are showing that the HR team are doing more work on Mental Health related issues. How would it feel if your leadership team were more equipped to support others and know at what point it needs to be referred on? We are here to help you develop the strategy that not only develops your leaders; it also develops your teams and allows for the open communication without judgement and condemnation from others. and allow people to be the person they want to be and help reduce the stigma and discrimination of Mental Health and Suicide. Coaching is about getting the best from a person. It is easy to understand how it works in sport – the coach works to refine and perfect your strengths to reach peak performance. By exploring an individual’s abilities and aspirations, the coach can shine a light on your potential and guide you along the path to your goals. Coaching is focussed on the present and future and is geared towards achieving set goals, growing personally or professionally, improving effectiveness, finding balance and having a more fulfilling life. A coach acts as a catalyst for your personal and professional development, helping you to clarify your career ambitions and explore what makes you tick. Our Coaches have a wealth of experience and come from a wide range of industry backgrounds. Collectively their professional network is extensive and this can be of great benefit to our clients. While your coaching sessions will always be one-to-one with the same coach, we work as a team where appropriate to ensure our clients receive the full benefit of this network and our coaching experience. Employers constantly flag business or commercial awareness as a ‘must have’ skill for graduates, particularly those who have not had the benefit of a work-placement year. Whilst employers do not expect new graduates to be business gurus from day one, they do expect a degree of basic knowledge and understanding of key principles and the business environment in which they operate. To prepare you for the ‘world of work’, we work with you in the following areas- Success in any industry relies on relationships, whether with co-workers, clients, suppliers, or investors. When you’re well-mannered and considerate in dealing with others, you create engaging, productive, and long term business relationships. As such, it is important to learn, not just the technical side of a business, but how to conduct one’s self in the company of others. This is where business etiquette comes in. The following areas are where we can help you develop with training, coaching or mentoring. For the better part of every day, we are communicating to and with others. Whether it’s the speech you deliver in the boardroom, the level of attention you give your spouse when they are talking to you, or the look that you give to the cat, it all means something. Effective communication is about understanding the different methods of communication and how to make the most of each of them. We’ve all met that dynamic, charismatic person that just has a way with others, and has a way of being remembered. Interpersonal skills are all about how we communicate, negotiation techniques, making an impact and building lasting relationships. Can benefit anyone who presents, a trainer, a meeting facilitator, speaker, or seminar discussion leader. No matter which role you are assuming, having great presentation skills will help you become more efficient and proficient with the skills of providing information to others. \* Leadership – Suitable for existing and new leaders in how to lead and build a performing team. \* Mental Health and Well-Being – We all have Mental Health and well-being is a key element for any individual and organisation.

We all know of the benefits of looking after our Physical Health and how to maintain it, so what about our Mental Health? Our aim is to remove the stigma and discrimination attached to Mental Health and Suicide by educating more people in Mental Health Awareness, Mental Health First Aid and Suicide Prevention, that creates a greater understanding and improved knowledge to be able to support others. Here at Mental Strength and Well-Being we know the outcomes of Poor Mental Health and the impact that Suicide has on those affected by it. We are also very much aware of what good Mental Health can have on both our physical and Mental Well-being, making us more productive and able to manage the everyday stresses. Mental Health is not a problem that requires fixing, it is about understanding where we are with our Mental health and creating positive coping mechanisms when our emotions are triggered. Understanding the anxiety, the depression, the stress and how we feel- happy or sad are all emotions that fall into the Umbrella of what Mental Health is all about. We all have Mental health and appear someone on a wide spectrum. How we deal with what affects where we are is where we can support you using training and coaching. Talking is where we start to understand what you need and then to look at the best intervention for you as an individual or for you as an organisation.

MHFA won’t teach you to be a therapist, but it will teach you to listen, reassure and respond, even in a crisis – and even potentially stop a crisis from happening. You’ll learn to recognise warning signs of mental ill health and develop the skills and confidence to approach and support someone while keeping yourself safe. You’ll also learn how to empower someone to access the support they might need for recovery or successful management of symptoms. This could include self-help books or websites, accessing therapy services through their GP, their school or place of work, online self-referral, support groups, and more. What’s more, you’ll gain an understanding of how to support positive wellbeing and tackle stigma in the world around you. By becoming an MHFAider® with us you’ll have access to continuous support – well beyond your initial certification – so you are confident, empowered and motivated to carry out your role. You will get three years’ access to MHFAider® support and benefits which includes 24/7 digital support through the MHFAider Support App®. From there, you will find exclusive resources, ongoing learning opportunities and the benefit of joining England’s largest community of trained MHFAiders®. **This course is available as either an online or face-to-face training session. See 'book a course' section below for options.** This course raises awareness of mental health. It covers: **This course is available as either an online or face-to-face training session. See 'book a course' section below for options.** If you are a Mental Health First Aider or MHFA Champion you have skills for life that support you and the people around you. We believe that mental health should be treated equally to physical health – and just like physical first aid, Mental Health First Aid training should be kept up to date. The four-hour MHFA Refresher course will empower you to: Please note that the MHFA Refresher is only for people who have completed an Adult Mental Health First Aider, MHFA Champion, or [Armed Forces Mental Health First Aider course](https://mhfaengland.org/SignIn?ReturnUrl=%2Findividuals%2Farmed-forces%2F2-day%2F). **This course is available as either an online or face-to-face training session. See 'book a course' section below for options.** This one-day course trains you as an MHFA Champion, giving you: One in ten young people experience a mental health issue at any one time. Suicide is the [leading cause of death](https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/bulletins/deathsregisteredinenglandandwalesseriesdr/2017#suicide-accounted-for-an-increased-proportion-of-deaths-at-ages-5-to-19-years-in-2017) for those aged 5-19. Record levels of young people are struggling. Academic pressure, social media, bullying, poverty, lack of availability of professional mental health support – all have been named by various sources as contributing to this epidemic of poor mental health in our young people. It’s clear that young people are not getting the support they need. Key figures in a young person’s life – parents, family members, teachers, tutors, carers, youth workers – can often spot when a young person is struggling but may not know how best to help. Youth Mental Health First Aid (MHFA®) courses are for everyone who works with, lives with or supports young people aged 8-18. They will teach you the skills and confidence to spot the signs of mental health issues in a young person, offer first aid and guide them towards the support they need. In doing so, you can speed up a young person’s recovery and stop a mental health issue from getting worse. Our courses won't teach you to be a therapist, but we will teach you to listen, reassure and respond, even in a crisis - and even potentially stop a crisis from happening. But more than that, we aim to give you the information and skills to look after your own mental health so that you can set an example for young people. By giving you the tools to have these conversations, we hope to empower you to create a mentally healthy, supportive environment in your family, school, peer group or community. Let's create a future where mental health is treated as a normal part of life, in the same way as physical health. A future where every young person has access to support if they need it. To create a mentally healthy workplace it is vital to build supportive relationships between managers and team members. This four-hour training course will provide a consistent approach to mental health and wellbeing, promoting healthy performance across the whole organisation.  This evidence-based course is ideal for people managers who want to help create an open culture around mental health and wellbeing in the workplace. The course is available online or face to face. \* Identify if an employee may be experiencing poor mental health. \* Feel confident having open conversations about mental health with your team members. \* Appropriately signpost to available support and know where to go for support and guidance for yourself. \* Role model good self-care practice, inspiring your teams to look after their own mental health and wellbeing Managers who are able to support the mental health of their teams will encourage employees to thrive, increasing talent retention and reducing the impact of presenteeism and long-term sickness absence. Providing this training to everyone with people management responsibilities will ensure a consistent approach to mental health and wellbeing across teams and departments. By role modelling good self-care practice, you will inspire others to look after their own mental health and wellbeing.

The need to support employees' mental health has never been greater. The impact of Covid, increased financial pressures, and a world full of bleak news, has led to [The Centre for Mental Health](https://www.centreformentalhealth.org.uk/) estimating that up to 10 million people in the UK may need mental health support in the aftermath of the pandemic. Taking care of employees’ mental health is a legal duty of care. Employers must do what is reasonable and practical to support their employees' mental health, safety, and wellbeing.  The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) [guidance](https://www.hse.gov.uk/firstaid/needs-assessment.htm) recommends that employers include mental health in their first aid needs assessment. Consider including [Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training](https://www.mentalstrengthandwellbeing.com/courses_overview), which teaches participants to recognise early signs of mental health issues and offer initial support until professional help is available. No, mental health training is not currently a legal requirement in the UK, however employers do have a legal duty of care to their employees that covers their mental, as well as physical, health. MPs in the UK have debated making it a legal requirement for businesses to offer mental health first aid training, with a bill proposed that would create equality between mental health and physical health first aid in the workplace. Even though it isn’t a legal requirement, looking after employees’ mental health in the workplace can reduce sickness absence and increase productivity. [The Health and Safety Executive](https://www.hse.gov.uk/) estimates that mental illness accounted for around half of all cases of sick leave last year. To create a mentally healthy workplace it is essential to involve senior leaders and managers in mental health training. Their engagement sets the tone for the entire organisation, signalling that mental health is a priority and encouraging employees to take it seriously. The aim should be to create a culture that works towards making mental health an easy conversation in the workplace, building trust is essential to allow a safe space for employees to feel vulnerable. It is possible to work towards breaking down mental health stigma in the workplace by promoting an open and supportive environment. A key goal of mental health training is to reduce stigma and create a culture where employees feel comfortable discussing mental health issues. This requires leadership commitment to promoting openness, as well as ensuring confidentiality and respect when dealing with sensitive matters. It is essential to emphasise confidentiality in all conversations around mental health. Additionally, creating a clear pathway for employees to access support ensures they know where to go for help if needed. By focusing on these considerations, workplaces can create a more supportive, understanding, and mentally healthy environment for all employees.

Our workforce is changing, more women are now employed across most industries with a high number working in: Everyone can be affected by mental health issues but women are (statistically) more likely to develop a mental health concern than men ([Mental Health Foundation](https://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/explore-mental-health/a-z-topics/women-and-mental-health)). Supporting women’s mental health in the workplace is a legal duty of care but your business will also benefit by having a happier and more productive workforce. aking care of your employees’ mental health is a legal duty of care. Employers must do what is reasonable and practical to support their employees' mental health, safety, and wellbeing. Women face unique challenges that can affect their mental health in the workplace. Postnatal depression, hormone fluctuations around menstruation, and menopause are all times in a woman's physical development that can have a direct impact on her mental health and wellbeing. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) [guidance](https://www.hse.gov.uk/firstaid/needs-assessment.htm) recommends that employers include mental health in their first aid needs assessment. By supporting women’s mental health in the workplace, you are not only fulfilling your obligations as an employer but also helping to create a positive and empowered workplace. Employers are now very accustomed to making sure that they have the adequate number of employees trained in medical First Aid, but what about Mental Health First Aid? [Mental Health First Aid training](https://www.mentalstrengthandwellbeing.com/courses_overview) teaches people how to identify, understand and help someone who may be experiencing a mental health issue. It is a good step towards putting a wellbeing structure in place to create a culture that is a safe space for your employees to talk openly and honestly about how they feel and should lead to the right level of support from within the business. Once you have the correct policies, procedures and training in place, it is important that you communicate this to your workforce so that they know what help they can access if they are struggling with their mental health. Creating a culture in the workplace that allows employees to talk freely about their feelings and breaks down mental health stigma is essential to supporting women’s mental health in the workplace. Everyone in the workplace should commit to creating a culture that allows for conversations to take place without fear of judgement or repercussions. Education is the key to this. There are many [courses](https://www.mentalstrengthandwellbeing.com/all_courses) now available that can help to educate business leaders and managers in the workplace to be aware of mental health issues and how to respond sensitively if someone is struggling. We all need to work towards making mental health an easy conversation in the workplace and support each other at difficult times. Building trust is essential to allow a safe space for employees to feel vulnerable. If you are interested in learning more about supporting women’s mental health you can come along to our Women’s Mental Health and Wellbeing Festival on 19 June 2025 in Newton Aycliffe, County Durham. This is an in-person event where we will be discussing all things relating to women, their mental health and wellbeing. Some of the topics we are covering will be around menopause, ADHD and eating disorders.  [Tickets now on sale](https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/womens-mental-health-and-wellbeing-festival-tickets-967854959237).

We all have Mental Health and the potential to experience a Mental Health distress or crisis at some point in our lives. Our Mental Health is separated into 2 states - **Good Mental health** is a state of positive well-being in which we understand our capabilities, our own abilities within this and how we cope with the everyday stresses of life. Good Mental Health is a place where we can work productively and are able to contribute to the community around us. **Poor Mental Health** is when we feel unable to cope with the everyday stresses of life, our productivity is down and we feel unable to contribute to the community. We underestimate the impact poor mental health can have on each one of us. Poor Mental Health if not supported can be distressing and traumatic for the individual concerned. How we think, leads to our feelings and ultimately the resulting behaviour. Understanding the cognitive distortions that occur can help those with poor mental health. Seeking professional help with professional interventions can support the individual. Is Mental Strength the same as Mental Health? Some may say it is! Mental Strength is being able to cope in all situations and to deal with your negative emotions in a positive way. Mental Strength is about how we ***THINK, FEEL AND BEHAVE.*** Think of physical health and physical strength – you can be physically healthy but not physically strong! You can also be physically strong but not physically healthy at some point. By exercising daily to be physically strong does not ultimately guarantee that you will never have a physical illness – like diabetes. Physical health issues will limit what we can do physically and overall, we will make choices on how to achieve physical strength. Back to Mental Strength - not having depression, anxiety, stress etc. or any other Mental Health illness, does not necessarily mean you are mentally strong. Some people cope very well with a Mental Health illness and are Mentally strong – they cope well with the everyday stresses around them and know how to manage their emotional triggers – which results in an improved thinking pattern, how we feel and ultimately how we behave. There are exercises that help us improve our Mental Strength and become more resilient to what is happening around us. How can we do this? Taken from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, there are 3 parts that help us restore Mental Strength - called the ‘***Cognitive Triad’***. As the definition states, it is about being happy, comfortable, healthy. Positive Mental Wellbeing does not always mean though that you are happy, comfortable or healthy? It can mean having a sense of purpose; being socially connected; having a feeling of positive Mental Health and being able to mange day to day stresses. Wellbeing can be affected by risk and protective factors from societal and individual perspectives. These can be influenced by our background, culture, upbringing, money, sexuality, the community we live in; housing; lack of access to services plus our own frame of reference on how we see the world and many other factors. Well-being, like Mental health comes from our thoughts, feelings and behaviours – all of which we have full control over. Thinking positive has a strong link to positive well-being. When we have meaningful relationships, we tend to have better social well-being. If we do not like our job or have been made redundant or seeking different employment, we tend to have lower workplace well-being. Well-being is all around us and it is amazing how our well-being is a big influencer on how well our Mental Health is. Think of well-being as a category – what would that look like? Can you improve your well-being? Yes, you can and with some positivity and determination you can achieve a better outcome. By building upon your skills and starting with what is important to you in well-being. It will not improve overnight and whilst you may see some improvement in say 4-5 weeks, you should also carry on with your goal. It is the same as dieting to lose weight. We may well do that in 2-3 months and feel good about what we have achieved. If you then go back to eating junk food, you will undo all that you have achieved. In well-being the principle is the same, once you feel better, keep at it, tweak what you are doing and do not lose focus, otherwise you will be back at the beginning. What is helpful is to create some strategies that help you maintain this focus – an activity that reminds you of feeling good; a happiness plan; a journal; something you can refer to if you feel deflated or are going backwards. Overall, well-being is about have a ***GROWTH*** Mindset and ***POSITIVE*** attitude. This is often where people start, before they build upon all other aspects of well-being. Well-being, Mental Strength and Mental Health all interlink. The strategies we use for our well-being, can only be a positive to help with our overall Mental Health and building resilience. Remember, some people with Mental Health issues often go about their day-to-day lives and cope with the day-to-day stresses and have good Mental Health, good Mental Strength and good well-being. Others who have Mental health issues, struggle to cope with everyday stresses and have poor mental health, poor Mental Strength and poor Mental well-being. Recognise that we are all different and use different coping strategies – it is these that can make the difference overall.

How we *THINK*. We often think about the worst-case scenario as opposed to using our rational and logical part of our brain. Thinking realistically and recognising the irrational thoughts is where we start; recognising that we can speak to ourselves with kindness. We are often critical of the smallest of things in ourselves, so why not change that into some positive self-talk and passion for what has gone well. 2. How we *FEEL.* Mental strength is not about dismissing the emotions we feel or denying that something is not right or that you are not experiencing pain. It is about the acknowledgement of how this is making you feel and accepting that sometimes our emotions are uncomfortable to accept. Staying in the moment, recognising that irrational and illogical feelings may make things feel worse for you. 3. How we *BEHAVE*. Recognising that the negative behaviours are not good for you is the first step in creating positive Mental Strength and building your resilience. Mental Strength is about positive action that is productive as opposed to destructive. Sometimes we need to push ourselves outside of our comfort zone and doing that exercise even if we feel tired or exhausted. Overall, how we behave is about engaging in positive self-care and that the behaviours have a positive benefit on your overall Mental Strength. - Think Positively. - Be self-aware and have self-confidence in own ability to perform and to make decisions. - Use visualisation. - Feel empowered and plan for setbacks. - Recognise those emotional triggers and remain rational and logical. - Maintain your routine. - Challenge self and set goals. - Be who you are – Your Whole Self. - Social well-being - Emotional well-being - Physical well-being - Career well-being - Societal well-being - Social well-being – Being able to communicate and develop meaningful relationships, building our social skills and interacting with others will build our connections and allow us to feel less lonely anxious or depressed. - Emotional well-being – Understanding the skills that will allow us to cope with everyday situations and encounters. Being self-aware of the emotional triggers to enable regulation; having positivity and resilience; using Mindfulness practice are all skills that can be developed to cope with stress and overcome disappointments. - Physical well-being – Understanding what a healthy diet is and what exercise is needed to feel better and prevent physical ill health. - Career well-being – Being in a role that matters can help with our well-being and being appreciated and treated well can support this. Maintaining a work-life balance, developing our professional skills and having goals will lead to a more meaningful role. - Societal well-being – Understanding the world around us is as important as all the other aspects. Knowing how to support the environment, our community can help us feel connected and valued and part of something much bigger. Doing something kind for another, leaves us feeling good. --- ## URL: https://www.mentalstrengthandwellbeing.com/why-i-do-what-i-do ### Title: Why I do what I do? ### Page ID: 7088099 ### Content: # Why I do what I do? My name is Christine Spencer and I am the director of *C & D Learning Solutions Ltd ta Mental Strength and Well-Being.* At a very young age I experienced the suicide of a young school friend and observed relationship problems around me that impacted the well-being of the people concerned. I have also struggled with my own Mental Health and have family members who have poor Mental Health too. From that young age I realised that I enjoyed being around people and supporting them when I could and in ways that were appropriate. I have worked in recruitment, developed leaders and helped organisation with their change management programmes in the civil service, banking and high street retail. It has always interested me how people think, feel and behave and I used to sit for hours and work out what my triggers were to certain situations and if I could have done anything differently to avoid conflict. There certainly were times I know I could have been more resilient at the time and could have approached things differently. I would also ask people why they reacted the way they did and understand more about this. I later went on to understand that this was all about Cognitive behaviour, Emotional Intelligence and communication. I fell in love with the work of Dr Eric Bearne (Transactional Analysis); Ken Blanchard (the One Minute Manager and Situational Leadership) along with Steven Covey (7 Habits of Highly Effective people) and many more. More recently I have reading books from Matthew Syed who is really focused on Equality and Diversity in the workplace and who positions Diversity from a different angle of allowing everyone a voice – which if we think about where we are with Mental Health issues is very important for us to allow the voices of others, their thoughts and feelings while we listen with good intent and interest. So how does all this bring me to where I am today, teaching learners about Mental Health and supporting them to become Mental Health First Aiders? My background has been in High Street banking and retail and when I left banking back in 2003, I went on to gain a qualification in coaching and loved being able to elicit an individual’s solution from their own way of thinking. I enjoyed listening to their responses and successes from these sessions. This proved very beneficial in people understanding the problem and working through it until they find the solution – I suppose I was a sounding board for others? I also studied Cognitive Behaviour and Psychology which created a more in-depth interest in how people think, feel and behave and how this can impact their wellbeing. I decided to work for myself and take on interim roles to support people and organisations to develop personally and professionally. As time went on and I was doing more leadership development I noticed a link between how the leader led and how the colleague responded. I observed a lot of good leadership, understanding your team and knowing where their strengths are and what they enjoy doing to maintain a great performance output. There was also poor leadership which had a massive effect on people, their mind set and overall wellbeing. I started to look more into the correlation between leadership and Mental wellbeing in organisations and started my journey into Mental Health First Aid, Awareness and Emotional Resilience. If I were to sum up what I now do and love doing it would be - ***I help and support individuals and organisations to develop their positive Leadership capability and Mental Health.*** ***I work to help people be more self-aware and resilient and with organisations to build an environment where Mental Health is no longer a STIGMA.*** Mental Strength & Wellbeing © 202 All Rights Reserved - Coaching & Therapy - [Coaching](/coaching "Coaching") - [Therapy](/therapy "Therapy") - [Wellbeing Festivals](https://www.mentalstrengthandwellbeing.com/wellbeing-festival-2026 "Wellbeing Festivals") - [Wellbeing Festival 2026](/wellbeing-festival-2026 "Wellbeing Festival 2026") - [Wellbeing Festival 2025](/wellbeing-festival-2025 "Wellbeing Festival 2025") - [About](/about "About") - [What We Do](/what-we-do "What We Do") - [Our Mission](/our-mission "Our Mission") - [Courses](/courses "Courses") - [Courses Overview](/courses-overview "Courses Overview") - [CPD accredited Courses](/cpd-accredited-courses "CPD accredited Courses") - [MHFA Courses](https://mhfaengland.org/public-profile/?id=7ce5a51c-469e-e911-a973-000d3ab5a0d7 "MHFA Courses") - [Other Courses](/other-courses "Other Courses") - [Course Brochure](https://cloud-1de12d.b-cdn.net/media/original/9111668b974ed2d5e87d4271954a1a4b.pdf "Course Brochure") - [Contact](/contact "Contact") - More - [Press](/press "Press") - [Downloads](/downloads "Downloads") - [Blog](/blog "Blog") - [Book a Call](https://calendly.com/cdlearningsolutionsltd "Book a Call") - [Coaching](/coaching "Coaching") - [Therapy](/therapy "Therapy") - [Wellbeing Festival 2026](/wellbeing-festival-2026 "Wellbeing Festival 2026") - [Wellbeing Festival 2025](/wellbeing-festival-2025 "Wellbeing Festival 2025") - [What We Do](/what-we-do "What We Do") - [Our Mission](/our-mission "Our Mission") - [Courses Overview](/courses-overview "Courses Overview") - [CPD accredited Courses](/cpd-accredited-courses "CPD accredited Courses") - [MHFA Courses](https://mhfaengland.org/public-profile/?id=7ce5a51c-469e-e911-a973-000d3ab5a0d7 "MHFA Courses") - [Other Courses](/other-courses "Other Courses") - [Course Brochure](https://cloud-1de12d.b-cdn.net/media/original/9111668b974ed2d5e87d4271954a1a4b.pdf "Course Brochure") - [Press](/press "Press") - [Downloads](/downloads "Downloads") - [Blog](/blog "Blog") - [Book a Call](https://calendly.com/cdlearningsolutionsltd "Book a Call") - Coaching & Therapy - [Coaching](/coaching "Coaching") - [Therapy](/therapy "Therapy") - [Wellbeing Festivals](https://www.mentalstrengthandwellbeing.com/wellbeing-festival-2026 "Wellbeing Festivals") - [Wellbeing Festival 2026](/wellbeing-festival-2026 "Wellbeing Festival 2026") - [Wellbeing Festival 2025](/wellbeing-festival-2025 "Wellbeing Festival 2025") - [About](/about "About") - [What We Do](/what-we-do "What We Do") - [Our Mission](/our-mission "Our Mission") - [Courses](/courses "Courses") - [Courses Overview](/courses-overview "Courses Overview") - [CPD accredited Courses](/cpd-accredited-courses "CPD accredited Courses") - [MHFA Courses](https://mhfaengland.org/public-profile/?id=7ce5a51c-469e-e911-a973-000d3ab5a0d7 "MHFA Courses") - [Other Courses](/other-courses "Other Courses") - [Course Brochure](https://cloud-1de12d.b-cdn.net/media/original/9111668b974ed2d5e87d4271954a1a4b.pdf "Course Brochure") - [Contact](/contact "Contact") - More - [Press](/press "Press") - [Downloads](/downloads "Downloads") - [Blog](/blog "Blog") - [Book a Call](https://calendly.com/cdlearningsolutionsltd "Book a Call") - [Coaching](/coaching "Coaching") - [Therapy](/therapy "Therapy") - [Wellbeing Festival 2026](/wellbeing-festival-2026 "Wellbeing Festival 2026") - [Wellbeing Festival 2025](/wellbeing-festival-2025 "Wellbeing Festival 2025") - [What We Do](/what-we-do "What We Do") - [Our Mission](/our-mission "Our Mission") - [Courses Overview](/courses-overview "Courses Overview") - [CPD accredited Courses](/cpd-accredited-courses "CPD accredited Courses") - [MHFA Courses](https://mhfaengland.org/public-profile/?id=7ce5a51c-469e-e911-a973-000d3ab5a0d7 "MHFA Courses") - [Other Courses](/other-courses "Other Courses") - [Course Brochure](https://cloud-1de12d.b-cdn.net/media/original/9111668b974ed2d5e87d4271954a1a4b.pdf "Course Brochure") - [Press](/press "Press") - [Downloads](/downloads "Downloads") - [Blog](/blog "Blog") - [Book a Call](https://calendly.com/cdlearningsolutionsltd "Book a Call") --- ## URL: https://www.mentalstrengthandwellbeing.com/wellbeing-festival-2026 ### Title: Wellbeing Festival 2026 ### Page ID: 7627231 ### Content: # Wellbeing Festival 2026 ## What is a well-being event?
