Why this training?

 

This training programme is designed as a practical, skills-based learning experience that goes beyond theory.

Over the course of the training, you will:

• work through real cases,
• practise key competencies,
• and develop strategies you can apply directly in your professional context.

The training brings together participants from across the health, education, social work, and justice sectors. By engaging in joint exercises and discussions, you will gain not only new knowledge, but also new professional relations and a deeper understanding of how your role connects with others in building integrated, person-centred mental health support.

What makes this training special is its focus on:

• Practical competence development – strengthening skills such as active listening, de-escalation, risk assessment, referral, and system navigation.
• Cross-sector collaboration – learning how to work effectively across professional boundaries and build stronger, more coordinated pathways of care.
• Networking and exchange – connecting with colleagues from diverse fields, sharing experiences, and building professional relationships that last beyond the training.

    By the end of the training, you will leave with:

• A set of concrete skills that you can immediately integrate into your daily work.
• A clearer understanding of the different roles and responsibilities within multidisciplinary mental health support.
• A network of professionals committed to advancing person-centred, recovery-oriented practice in their own organisations and communities.
• A certificate of attendance, bearing the EU Commission logo, issued by EU-PROMENS and the hosting institution.
