Informed

The informed level of practice (level 1) is the most broadly applicable and the associated learning resources are relevant to everyone. 

With the right knowledge and skills, everyone can make a positive difference to their own and others’ mental health and can contribute to supporting people experiencing mental ill health and preventing self-harm or suicide.

There are two “Ask Tell Respond” eLearning modules 

• Supporting adults  

• Supporting children and young people 

To further build on your learned skills from the Ask Tell Respond eLearning modules, there are masterclasses

aimed at the informed level such as:

• Recovery in Mental Health Masterclass

• Self-Harm and Suicide Risk in Children and Young People

For those who wish to facilitate an informed-level workshop, a Facilitator's toolkit has been created.

NES also offers training aimed at managers, supervisors and team leaders:

•  Supporting a Mentally Healthy Workplace – A Guide for Managers

NHS Borders have created a bitesize series of videos relating your mental health in different forms such as:

• An introduction to Coping Skills

• Conversations about Mental Health

• How Breathing Can Help

• Ways to Improve Sleep

• Food and Drink - What's the Link
