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 have had very little personal experience with addiction and therefore have found it hard to relate to people experiencing addiction. I found this course gave an easy-to-understand insight into addiction and the experiences of those affected by it. I gained a stronger level of empathy and understanding from this course.
- Will
Overall, the workshop enhanced the different levels of understanding of addiction within the group but also equipped participants with practical tools and perspectives to apply in real-world situations. The facilitators were exceptionally knowledgeable, providing insightful information and evidence-based practices in a clear and accessible manner. Their relatability and genuine engagement with the participants fostered an open and supportive learning environment, making complex topics more understandable and relatable.

The stories from real people introduces a real human aspect and normalizes the struggles people go through. You see and feel the harm, damage and the road to recovery

I have attended many courses across my career and I often feel coursed out by the end but that wasn't my feeling at all, in fact I was prepared for further learning. So well paced and organised.
- Ruth
The workshop was very well run. I really can't fault it. It was interactive, insightful and the resources (workbook) had good reflection activities, helpful information and the language, layout and content matched perfectly with what is needed to learn.

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.
