Level 2 First Aid for Mental Health Course
2024-10-04 09:30 - 16:30 | Harehills Lane Baptist Church, 13 Hilton Place, Leeds, LS8 4HE
Here at LIP, we are committed to amplifying the voices of people from marginalised and / or racialised groups to ensure we are moving towards a more equitable society for all, working against
the health and other inequalities in society. By giving people the skills to recognise when their neighbours, family members and others need some help at an early stage, we can avoid more
serious complications.
Providing effective mental health training tailored to the needs of these groups is essential to bridge the gap and ensure equitable care.
This course will give you a certificate that is Ofqual-approved as well as the skills and knowledge to start to help those around you. LIP is hoping that, following the training, we can work with you to develop a Cultural Mental Health network within the city.
The course will cover:

What is First Aid for Mental Health?
Identifying mental health conditions
Providing advice and starting a conversation
Stress
Mental health conditions
Drugs and alcohol
First Aid for Mental Health action plan
First Aid for Mental Health in the workplace

Baton of Hope Tour
2025-09-10 | Leeds
Leeds is proud to be hosting the Baton of Hope tour on Wednesday 10 September 2025 – which is also World Suicide Prevention Day.
The Baton of Hope is a powerful symbol that’s travelling across the UK to raise awareness about suicide prevention. It brings communities together to remember the lives sadly lost to suicide, while promoting a message of hope, reducing stigma and promoting help-seeking.
On the day, a baton will be carried across Leeds by 84 Baton Bearers, who are people who have been affected by or bereaved by suicide.
The route will visit places across the city that support wellbeing, including:

parks and green spaces
community centres
creative and arts-based spaces
events marking World Suicide Prevention Day

The route will end in East Leeds with a finale event, sharing a collective message of hope and thanks to everyone involved. It’s a way for the city to stand together and show our commitment to preventing suicide and supporting each other.
More details of the route will be made available on this site, nearer the time.
How to get involved
While applications to carry the Baton are now closed, everyone is welcome to join in on the day:

come along to cheer on the Baton Bearers
join in with community events along the route
share your own message of hope online

Details of the route and events will be available closer to the date. You can also follow updates and connect with others on the Baton of Hope Leeds Facebook page.
About the Baton of Hope
The Baton of Hope is a national suicide prevention campaign. It was created by Baton of Hope UK and is inspired by the Olympic torch – but instead of celebrating physical performance, this baton celebrates mental health, community strength and recovery as it tours across the country, visiting different locations.
The Leeds event is being organised by a local partnership between Leeds City Council, Touchstone, and Leeds Mind.
