Please note that spaces are limited on each course, so we encourage booking early to secure your desired course.

Please also note that we can offer blocks of places to organisations, but will limit the places offered because of the fixed class sizes.
What course participants have said before

'A great course, lots of valuable learning, great discussions and felt very well supported by two fabulous instructors.'

'I gained a lot of valuable knowledge which is very useful not only in my personal life but also my professional life. I believe this course is valuable to all people in order to help more raise awareness about Mental Health especially in working environments!'

'I really enjoyed the course. It covers a large section of subjects and topics which can be difficult to talk about but it was touched on in a very sensitive and safe way.'

'As a team leader I feel it will be very beneficial in helping me spot the signs of mental health concerns but also how to best support that individual'

Jason Langley

Jason has been working in Mental Health and Recovery Education since 2019, having previously worked with sensory disabilities. He qualified as a Mental Health First Aid Instructor in 2020, and began delivering courses in 2021. His personal lived experience in both areas influences his teaching style and inspires his passion to help promote a more positive outlook on mental health.

Katherine Clark

Kat has completed the full instructor training, co-delivered three online courses for Viewpoint with her colleague, Jason, and they were fully certified as mental health first aid instructors in November 2021. She has lived experience of mental ill health going back to her first episode when she was 8 years old. She has trained and worked within mental health organisations and feel especially passionate about how Viewpoint works as she feels the charity recognises and embraces all her experience. Her training and work experience are valued and so too is her lived experience and the challenges she has faced and overcome along the way.
