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 enjoyed the whole process because it was very interactive. Talking, writing and listening but also giving time to reflect on own personal work experience combined with sharing with others really enhanced retaining of information.

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
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
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.

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.
