Carers and Support Workers
When you’re providing help, care, and peace of mind to a diverse range of people, all with different and specific needs, the possibilities of facing sensitive or emotive situations can be frequent. Having additional mental health and communications training is vital in preparing home care workers, support workers, care assistants, and social care workers how to cope with the stresses and challenges they and their patients face.
Training for social care and support workers
Unfortunately, mental health is still a taboo subject for many people, with more vulnerable people holding back from speaking openly for fear of embarrassment or being treated differently. But as a care organisation providing a range of support to people of all ages, your staff maybe someone’s only point of contact for long periods of time.
It’s essential that the people you support know – and can trust – your carers and support workers and have their faith in your ability to deal with sensitive situations. We have a proud history of supporting and working within care organisations ourselves, and this brings out the best in our course material, making the content relevant, relatable, and actionable.
Mental health and communications training
Mental health and communications training is crucial to the wellbeing of all your staff, as well as the people they care for. While it helps to increase the awareness, performance, growth, and confidence of every staff member, it can also be a vital lifeline for the people they support.
All our workplace mental health training courses will enhance both their personal skills and professional development. It will also encourage discussion about the mental health of staff, which is often overlooked. Each course provides the resources you and your staff need to teach them how to recognise, act, and support themselves and their colleagues while creating immediate and ongoing change.
Popular courses for care and support workers include:
- Effective Communication Training
- Mental Health and Wellbeing Training for Managers
- Mental Health and Wellbeing Training for Employees
- Conflict and Resolution Training
- Effective Time Management Training
Every course can be personalised and adapted by our qualified trainers to suit the needs of your organisation and your staff. Plus, courses can be held at a time, date, and venue of your choice anywhere in the UK – we can even take your training online via Microsoft Teams or Zoom for maximum convenience.
With all these elements combined, Clearfocus Training can give you a bespoke course that’s relevant and relatable to your staff. See our why choose Clearfocus? page for more information, or if you have any questions, check our frequently asked questions page or contact us today.
