Conversations on mental health

Have you ever wanted to be there for someone who's struggling, but not known what to say? Or do you worry about saying the wrong thing?
You're not alone. Conversations about mental health can be hard. But you don't need to be a mental health professional to support others in your community.

Please find an e-learning course from SAMH that will help you practice talking about mental health
