Street Games have held a number of Community Mental Health Sessions across Bridgend, Rhondda Cynon Taf and Cardiff Councils. To date, eight courses have taken place, including 4 mental health courses, engaging over 90 learners.

  • 93% are likely to recommend our training to a friend
  • 95% thought the course met there expectation
  • 93% said they learnt something new they can put into practise

Feedback from learners:
“I liked how interactive it was despite being virtual, that's no easy task! Also the availability of the resources to use afterwards in my own work”
"Excellent processes to support myself and the young people I work with”

SEWH had funded for Street Games to undertake Contractor Mental Health Webinars through February and March 21. These were well received by the Contractors and led to further sessions being arranged by the Contractors themselves.
