IMHEP Evaluation Report

A training programme to develop the skills of frontline staff

Does your organisation engage with people who experience poor mental health?

Could your staff have more success in their role through learning how best to help their clients manage their mental health?

If so, consider IMHEP training for your staff.

IMHEP is a two day training course to develop ‘psychological awareness’ for those working with vulnerable individuals. The course develops practical skills in identifying and responding to distress effectively, using a structured model of care.

The programme was piloted in 2008 in Manchester and Stockport. The evaluation report for the pilot programme is attached here. It is expected that a programme for 2009 will be arranged and advertised here.
