Register for webinar
This webinar aims to give you a better understanding of mental health, mental illness, the risk and protective factors and the training available for elected members.
Delivered by Ed Davie from the Centre for Mental Health, attendees will be given a taster session of the training he provides including evidence-based tips on improving mental health and background information on the training.
The webinar will be of particular interest to Democratic Services Officers who want to learn more about mental health themselves or are interested in commissioning this training for their members.
Ed is a mental health and local government expert and since 2021 has delivered his bespoke Mental Health for Councillors Training to about 700 elected members in nearly 50 local authorities with over 93% of trainees rating the training as ‘Excellent/Good’. A King’s College London evaluation found that it successfully improved understanding of mental health and how to improve it for elected members and their communities. A more in-depth evaluation by the National Institute for Health Research is currently underway and early findings are very positive.
