Training
We offer training to build on the assets members already have – a toolkit to help perfect their skills. Our training sessions are on everything from building confidence to understanding how meetings work, and from the social model of disability to time management. We encourage members to take part if they’re interested in putting the skills and expertise they already have to good use, but might feel nervous about certain elements of involvement.

First Aid for Mental Health Training
At Leeds Involving People, we believe everyone should feel confident talking about mental health — whether it’s supporting a friend, a colleague, or someone in crisis. Our First Aid for Mental Health training, delivered by accredited trainer Sharon, helps people gain the knowledge and confidence to recognise the signs of poor mental health and respond in a calm, supportive way.
We deliver NUCO-accredited Level 1, 2, and 3 courses, designed for individuals, workplaces, and community groups. The training covers everything from understanding mental health conditions and reducing stigma, to learning how to listen, start a conversation, and signpost someone to the right support.
Our approach is practical, inclusive, and grounded in real experience. We’ve already trained participants from across Leeds — from community volunteers and young people, to probation workers, local Councillors, and other staff supporting communities. Many go on to join our growing network of Mental Health Champions, continuing to share learning, raise awareness, and support others in their communities.
This training isn’t just about qualifications — it’s about creating a culture of care, confidence, and connection across our city.
