FREE Loneliness Awareness & Support Training

Overview

WCL Mind are providing free 90-minute Loneliness Awareness and Support Training in partnership with the City of Westminster and RBKC.

This training is open to anyone living, studying or working in Westminster, Kensington & Chelsea.

Over 700,000 Londoners report feeling lonely ‘often’ or all the time. Loneliness can affect people at any stage of life and often arises at key transition points such as starting a new school, becoming a parent, or retiring from work. While it can affect anyone, some groups are at higher risk, including those living alone, people with disabilities, and individuals who have experienced discrimination.

As part of Westminster and Kensington & Chelsea’s action plan to tackle loneliness and social isolation across the boroughs, West Central London Mind are offering a free 90-minute training session to help build a more connected, supportive community.

Who is this training for?

This training is open to anyone who may come into contact—professionally or personally—with people who are lonely or at risk of loneliness, including:

• Council staff from any department
• Volunteers
• Community leaders
• Borough residents
• Anyone who wants to help make a difference

What will you gain?

• An understanding of the signs and symptoms of loneliness
• Insight into who is most at risk
• Practical tools to offer meaningful support
• Knowledge of where and how to signpost people to local services across the boroughs

Please note each training session has limited spaces so before registering make sure that you can attend.
