Rethink Mental Illness has received funding from Camden and Islington Councils to provide free mental health training to anyone who lives, works, studies or volunteers in the two boroughs throughout 2020*.
We are pleased to announce that we have now converted our Mental Health in the Workplace for Managers courses for remote delivery due to the current guidance relating to social distancing and COVID-19. This means they can now be delivered to you over the internet rather than in person.
