Build a Mentally Healthier World — One Course at a Time

At We Hold a Hand, we believe education is a powerful tool in transforming the way we understand and respond to mental health. That’s why we offer access to accredited mental health training courses that equip individuals and teams with the skills, confidence, and tools needed to support themselves and others.

Our goal is to create workplaces, communities, and organisations where mental health is treated with the same importance as physical health — and that starts with education.

Recognise signs of poor mental health
Engage in supportive, stigma-free conversations
Signpost others to professional help and resources
Promote a culture of wellbeing in their workplaces and communities
