Nicola Benedetti to offer webinars on mental health

Green Cross Training (GCT) delivers over 60 different courses from across the safety, compliance and wellbeing sector and has been delivering mental health support and training to people across the UK.

GCT is now working with the Benedetti Foundation, inviting individuals, groups and organisations to support one another and sponsor seats to help those in need on a Winter Wellbeing webinar at the cost of £10 per person.

Dr Christian Jessen, known as the TV Doctor, will host two ‘Ask Me Anything’ sessions on mental health and Dr Raj Persaud will offer two sessions based around his new book The Mental Vaccine for COVID-19: Coping with Corona Craziness. Their expertise will be made available to those who take part in the Winter Wellbeing webinars.

The webinar lasts one hour and will explore the following topics:

Mental Health: What is Mental Health and how does it affect us?

Winter Triggers: What are the common winter triggers and how do they affect us?

Action Planning: What can we do to manage mental health and stay in control

Signposting & Support: Exploring the support networks and organisations available to help

There will be three sessions a day on the following dates:

• Tuesday 1st December
• Wednesday 2nd December
• Tuesday 8th December
• Tuesday 15th December
• Thursday 17th December

The Benedetti Foundation will be providing an additional series of wellbeing sessions to compliment the training GCT provide. Dates available here.  

Nicola Benedetti commented: ‘I have always been inspired by my father’s work ethic and drive in business, and cannot think of a more appropriate purpose to collaborate for the first time in bringing help to people in need of mental health support this winter.

'Through the Benedetti Foundation, we hear first-hand from families, people at work, students, the young and elderly alike, how increasingly vulnerable people have become during this period. We know that music provides great solace for people, but sometimes that is not enough. We are honoured to collaborate with Green Cross Training, to provide these high-quality webinar sessions.’
