Free QTIBIPoC Mental Health First Aid Training course

QTIPoC Narratives, the Brightonbased collective, creating workshops, art, zines and alternative mental health space, has announced it is supporting a free online Mental Health First Aid Training course for the QTIBIPoC (Queer, Trans and Intersex, Black, Indigenous, People of Colour) community this month.

It is hoped this course will support in strengthening the QTIBIPoC community in holding safer space and protecting mental health.

The course for QTIBIPoC people only is being offered free by Mental Health First Aid instructor Davey Shields. Davey is

not QTIBIPoC but the training will be supported by Shona Raine and Ven Paldano (from QTIPoC Narratives) who are both QTBIPoC Mental Health First Aiders.

There are 16 places available on the course, held on the following weekends in October (12 - 3pm each day):

• Saturday 9 & Sunday 10

• Saturday 16 & Sunday 17
