Training
with Healthy You
Our training helps staff recognise opportunities to signpost support in a way that feels natural, respectful and proportionate to their role. It is not about turning staff into specialists, but about helping them feel comfortable knowing what is available and how to guide people towards appropriate services.
You and your colleagues can book half or full-day training sessions with the Morelife
Team, delivered face-to-face, online or digitally for your convenience.
