MH101®
Supporting someone experiencing mental health challenges can make a big difference to their wellbeing and recovery. But how do you know what signs to look for, and what’s the best way to help? MH101® has the answers.
Learn how to recognise signs of mental wellbeing and mental health challenges, and what helpful strategies and tools you can use to support people when they need it most.
MH101® will help you better understand and relate to what someone in mental distress might be experiencing. Learn what to do, and when, in different situations, including when there is a risk of suicide or self harm, and know when and how to get expert help.
You’ll get an overview of some of the major mental health challenges in Aotearoa – depression, anxiety, psychosis and substance use disorder, as well as learning about the impacts of stress and trauma. MH101® will also show you how to maintain your own mental health and wellbeing while supporting others.
MH101® is designed for adults 18 years old and over.
Addiction 101
Addiction comes in many forms and impacts many of us – either directly or indirectly. Recovery is possible for everyone, but it helps to understand what it takes for a person to change. Addiction 101 can help.
Addiction 101 is designed to help increase knowledge and understanding while reducing the stigma of addiction at home, work, and everyday life.
Get a better understanding of addiction and recovery, and the confidence to respond supportively using skills you already have. You’ll learn what can lead people into addiction, what strategies can help them to change, when and where to get professional help, and practical ways to look after yourself.
Addiction 101 is designed for adults 18 years old and over.

I learnt things I have not learnt on potentially more advanced courses. One of the best courses I have ever attended. At no time did I lose interest in the subject or become tired.
- Rich
Thank you so much for this training opportunity. Our team thoroughly enjoyed the day. The speakers were both brilliant and complemented each other well. We all gained a lot from attending and it was fabulous to do it as a team.

I came away from this workshop feeling my kete had been refilled and refreshed. I went back to my work and felt somewhat safety in my engagement with myself and others.
- Carol
This was an outstanding workshop and of huge value to our organisation and our people. The facilitators were excellent and really knew the content. They provided a safe space for our staff to share some very personal stories and I can't thank them enough. It was great and I feel armed with new tools to help me help not only myself when it comes to mental health but also importantly others.
- Chris
Having family members with significant issues, I thought I knew a lot, but was thrilled to learn some new skills to equip them, spot stressors in my work colleagues and support them, and a good reminder to care for myself.
- Jason
This is one of the best workshops I've attended because of how informed and engaging the facilitators were. The workshop is comprehensive and the day was kept at a good pace with a range of interactive activities alongside general teaching around the topic. I will be recommending it to others to gain an understanding from a sociocultural lens.
