Mental health friendly courses, workshops, coproduction, codesign, events – a space dedicated to learning from each other.
Our learning opportunities usually fall under either of the following categories:
Learning opportunities for our community
Training, workshops and sessions for people living with or effected by mental health issues. We invite experts and speakers from all walks of life to deliver sessions that suits the needs and interests of the Sheffield Flourish community.
Learning from lived experience
Coproduction, codesign and user testing opportunities that consults and learns from people with lived experience of mental health. We often work with partners from across the health system to get user voices into support services and policies.
