Sibling support group training days

By

Rethink Mental Illness are running two more of their free training days for people who want to help start a sibling support group in their local area.

The training day will be a chance to learn more about starting a group, meet other siblings and you could learn some new skills too.

You can choose from the following dates:
  • York – Saturday 24th March 11.30am – 3pm
  • London – Thursday 29th March 11am – 4pm

During the day, we will talk about how to start a group with our support, for instance finding a venue, advertising and promoting the group and arranging meeting times and ideas of how you might like your group to be.

Lunch will be provided on the day, and we also have a small budget for travel expenses and may be able to pay a proportion of your ticket (amount dependent on how many people attend and the cost of your travel). Please get in touch with ticket costs before booking if you would like help with this so we can confirm the amount we can assist with.

If you are interested in attending either of the training days – please email Stephanie to let her know which date you’d like to attend and the area in which you’d like to start a sibling support group: Stephanie.miller@rethink.org
