Organising Mental Health Events – Free Training
18th January 2020 @ 1:00 pm - 4:30 pm
This free training is for anyone who is interested in running an event aimed at challenging negative attitudes and behaviour towards people with mental health problems. The training will equip you with an introduction to the information and tools needed to plan and run a successful event.
At the end of the course you will have:
• An overview of the main elements to consider in planning an event
• Shared ideas and examples of event activities that effectively challenge stigma and negative attitudes
• Begun to put together a basic project plan for your own local event
• Considered ways to keep safe at the event
This training is very practical and hands on. You will learn about project planning, assessing risk, making contingencies, venue hire, budgets, what people you might need, insurance, keeping safe, promoting your event, and evaluating it.
There will also be the opportunity to meet others and to find out what they have done, meet people you might want to plan an event with, and have fun!
You will also find out about funds available to help you run events!
