Just wrapped up delivering ASIST (Applied Su***de Intervention Skills Training) with an amazing team at University of Wales Trinity Saint David โจ
Colleagues from across London, Carmarthen, Cardiff and Swansea campuses came together - not only to build vital su***de intervention skills, but also to strengthen internal connections between academic and support teams.
Brilliant to see the energy, collaboration and commitment in the room as always - and some fantastic feedback once again, which Uplifted Wellbeing and I massivly appreciate ๐ Diolch

What the world needs right now is as many people connected to their light as possible ๐๐ซ Donโt get consumed by fear, it would be a travesty for your light to dim. Others will be using it as a source of hope ๐ก

Over the next two days, participants are going to learn the skills and techniques to support someone experiencing thoughts of su***de, and will develop the confidence to be ready, willing & able to develop and put in place effective safe plans.

Sarah and I had the privilege of working with an amazing group this week comprising of attendees from Taff Housing, British Red Cross, Cyfannol Women's Aid, Wellbeing First Aid, and their feedback says it all:
๐ โI was worried this would be emotionally difficult, but Chris & Sarah made it better while ensuring we learned plenty.โ
๐ญ โVery practical, and the role play was very good!โ
๐ โFantastic instructors โ engaging, empathetic, and professional.โ
๐ก โThe training was interactive, engaging, and incredibly beneficial for my role.โ
Training like this is never easy, but seeing people grow in confidence and skills is what makes it so worthwhile. Thank you to everyone who joined us and committed to making a difference.
๐ธ Swipe to see some of the powerful feedback we received and our brilliant group in action!

What an inspiring two days Uplifted Wellbeing and I have had delivering ASIST (Applied Su***de Intervention Skills Training) with a passionate and engaged team from Hafod Housing!
Their commitment to learning life-saving skills was truly commendable, and the feedback has been phenomenal. ๐๏ฟฝ
But donโt just take my word for itโhereโs what some of our participants had to say:
๐ข โReally good training that was interactive & interesting. Very Knowledgable trainers.โ
๐ข โA highly informative and beneficial course - thank you!โ๐ข โReally enjoyed all aspects of the course and a special thank you to the fabulous trainers who really made the course!โ\
Su***de intervention skills arenโt just valuableโtheyโre ESSENTIAL for all in frontline support roles.

The Wellbeing Guy launched in 2017 with the aim of delivering mental health interventions & su***de intervention training, to help increase levels of resilience and normalise conversations about mental health across Wales and the South-West.
Following a 10 year career in disability and 1:1 mental health practitioner work, I discovered a passion for taking these messages out in to the community, supporting private organisations, housing associations, schools, universities and more to develop their own mental health toolkits and implement their own su***de-safer communities through energising and engaging training.
I have experience of working 1:1 with people to develop their own awareness and strategies to manage their mental health, as well as delivering various internally accredited staff training programmes such as Mental Health First Aid (MHFA), Applied Su***de Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) and safeTALK - Su***de Alertness to name but a few. Iโm also a certified NLP Practitioner and love coaching clients towards achieving their goals, and balancing their wellbeing.
Currently my work with The Wellbeing Guy is focusing on su***de prevention, both through our open and in-house ASIST (su***de intevention skills) training, and the running of the open safeTALK su***de alertness talks for communities. Interested in hosting a talk for your community? Get in touch with me on hello@thewellbeingguy.co.uk!
So thatโs a little about me - The Wellbeing Guy... Why not reach out and drop me a message if you think I could help!
