Register interest: HereToTalk training

Learn the skills to recognise, ask, listen and help those in need with their mental health.
We’re working with Tom Chapman, the award-winning mental health advocate who trains client focussed organisations, like clubs and gyms, to help prevent suicide.

Tom Chapman is the founder of The Lions Barber Collective. After losing a friend to suicide, Tom realised that from inside the safe environment of his salon/barbershop, there was an opportunity to not only look after what was on his customer’s heads but also what’s inside their heads too. It started as a group of Barbers, that educate and raise awareness about mental health and suicide prevention. This life-saving collective has grown and impacted a huge global network. Tom has now developed HereToTalk to train professionals from all industries with the skills to recognise, ask, listen and help those in need with their mental health and suicide prevention.

Testimonials

“I liked it, thought it was helpful in regards to how to respond such as..

Rather than saying “I understand” say “can you help me understand” as you don’t understand as every situation is different and by saying “can you help me understand” acknowledges the fact you’re trying to understand their situation and help them open up to you

I fortunately haven’t had to deal with any of these situations since, but feel more confident if I had to

I would recommend it as you will likely come across people struggling at some point”

 

“Yes it was a worthwhile workshop with great content and delivery.

I benefited from learning different perspectives and invaluable tools on a subject that I feel sometimes is a bit over done and repetitive.

I use some of the tools most days in building conversations which I feel will be really helpful to a person in need as and when they find themselves talking to me.

Yes I would recommend the training and Tom Chapman.”

 

“Yeah I absolutely loved it. I feel like it’s something that is needed within being a personal trainer as most of the time we are more of a therapist rather than a pt. It’s help with understanding the best way to ask questions around the topic and also how to find out the reasons for it rather than the blame.

I would definitely recommend anyone taking part and doing it as it’s a good way of making you view things from a different angle and also understanding that mental health affects everyone at different levels and some need more help than others”
