All Staff are invited to book a place on one of our upcoming i-act Courses to improve their awareness of mental health and wellbeing. The i-act training course is written and accredited by the Royal College of Psychiatry and is delivered by qualified, experienced trainers.  

The i‑act model focuses on common mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression, and also addresses how we might improve wellbeing in order to build resilience. The i‑act course gives practical guidance and tools for how we might improve our own mental health and wellbeing and support others who may have a mental health or wellbeing issue. It informs participants as to what they need to know and offers tools for addressing and improving mental health and wellbeing in the workplace. 

Staff who have previously attended the courses have commented: 

“The trainers facilitated a supportive, encouraging, and open atmosphere.” 

“I particularly liked the way that session involved moving around the room and working with different people.” 

“The signposting to guidance and self-assessment questionnaires/tools was useful.” 

There are now two different i-act courses available on ESS: 

• Understanding Mental Health & Wellbeing – open to all staff 

• Managing for Mental Health & Wellbeing - open to line managers, senior / departmental leaders, PhD supervisors and staff wellbeing champions.  

For more information and to book onto a course, please check your i-Trent ‘Learning’ tab. Training sessions in both Welsh and English will continue throughout the year.
