About this event

Please note: This taster is aimed at mental health professionals & peer workers working in NELFT (North East London Foundation Trust) , as well as residents living in Havering, Redbridge, Waltham Forest and Barking & Dagenham.

In today's society it is all too easy to feel lonely and disconnected from others and this can have a negative impact on our emotional health and the quality of our life.

Here at Talk for Health we know that true connection happens when we let go of our social masks and start being who we really are. This is why we run our Tasters, Full Programmes and on-going groups to help you feel more connected to yourself and other people.

We invite you to come and enjoy a Taster session, which is FREE, to find out if it is right for you.

The Taster will give you a chance to experience some of the four key learning areas of our full programme:

Open and truthful talking
Empathic listening
Basic counselling skills
How to set up an ongoing group to take care of your own wellbeing and enable others to do so

Come join us and learn how to talk to for a fit mind!

After the Taster, you can go straight into a Talk for Health on-groups where you will learn peer counselling skills as well as have plenty of space to talk and get/give support. You can also sign up to the Full 4-day Talk for Health Peer Counselling Programme to deepen your knowledge, skills, and get even more space to share.

If you have any questions, or are unable to sign-up using Eventbrite, please call or text 'call me' on 02034 093201 or email info@talkforhealth.co.uk.

Please note that if at any point either before or during the programme facilitators feel that by taking part there is a risk of detriment to your wellbeing then you will not be allowed to continue with the programme. Facilitators will support with suggestions for alternative referrals. We apologise for the inconvenience, but for legal reasons under eighteens, babies, and animals will not be permitted to attend.

For participants overseas: Talk for Health is unable to signpost to mental health resources overseas. Please ensure you have other mental health resources in place or know where to access.

Talk for Health

Talk for Health is a social enterprise that demystifies effective therapeutic talk, making it accessible to all. We make group peer to peer counselling something we can all do - whether for our own wellbeing, to help others, or both.

We are now operating programmes, tasters, groups and other events both online and in person, so you can choose what suits you best. Participants can join online events using their mobiles, laptops or tablets. Those without an internet connection or smartphone can dial in using regular mobile phones or landlines.

How does it work?

We provide initial training programmes that teach group peer-to-peer counselling skills and give you plenty of space to reflect on your own life. After training, Talk for Health Graduates gain access to free, monthly, ongoing groups for wellbeing, as well as occasional advanced learning groups and further training.

Further training is provided for Graduates to become trainers of the initial training programmes and/or facilitators of on-going groups.

All these free activities are made possible by funding from the Islington Clinical Commissioning Group as well as other grant-funding bodies. Some programmes are for Islington and Camden residents only, due to ICCG funding, and others are available only to those in Northeast London. Other events are open to all. Please contact us if you're not sure.

We also run special events that are open to everyone and hope to see you at one of our programmes or events soon.

If you would like further information then please email info@talkforhealth.co.uk or call/text 020 3409 3201.

Wish to support us? If you are able, please donate to save our service! Talk for Health needs help as we contend with a funding cliff-edge when people need us the most in the winter months. Please consider donating when signing up to an event on Eventbrite, or make a donation to our Crowdfunder campaign here. All donations of all sizes are immensely appreciated. Thank you so much!
