An exciting, exclusive opportunity for members of our PROJECT:TALK Bristol Society to join one of our teams in charge of developing our new 'TOOLS TO:TALK About' series of training sessions!

These training sessions will explore a number of different themes linked to our mental fitness. They aim to give members of the community a range of tools, language and more confidence when supporting each other. They also help us better understand ourselves and build mental fitness leading to individuals better placed to navigate challenges they face and seize opportunities with which they are presented.

At the heart of TOOLS TO:TALK is providing an opportunity for those with personal experience to educate their peers. Our sessions are developed with input from a wide range of people, including those with lived experience, experts and other passionate people. Your role will involve working with 3-4 others to follow our session design process, researching the topic, exploring your ideas and producing a valuable session and associated resources. Whilst your session development team will be led by one of the PROJECT:TALK team, there will be plenty of freedom to influence the direction of the training session and explore what you personally feel is really important.

Session topics are as follows (exact topic too be decided by you!)

TOOLS TO:TALK About Anxiety (FULL)
TOOLS TO:TALK About LGBTQ+
TOOLS TO:TALK About Addiction
TOOLS TO:TALK About Grief and Loss
TOOLS TO:TALK About Eating Disorders
TOOLS TO:TALK About Race, Equality and Diversity

If you have an idea for your own session, please tell us!

You'll become an expert in your session and hopefully see it delivered across the PROJECT:TALK community by your team and our Mental Fitness Instructors. You'll gain valuable skills whilst working with a passionate team to connect with the community as part of our mission to change the way we view mental health by pioneering mental fitness.

Time frame: Now until around May (approx. 2 hours per week), depending on how quickly your team work.
