‘Recovering Jane’ has been designed and developed by Lynn Burling, who is an acknowledged expert on the Recovery Approach.

‘Carer’ can cover many aspects where someone is looking after someone else. This can be by relation, a professional carer or someone who has the care for another for short to medium periods of time to cover for others.

HUBB YMHFA Instructors, Lynn Burling & Rob Thomas provided the training. This was delivered in 8 sessions over 6 weeks to fit in with the school half term. Coopers Coborn provided the venue and six members of staff to take part. They are also part of a pilot programme to achieve Mental Health First Aid England’s Quality Mark, demonstrating they are working towards the continuous improvement of the wellbeing of young people, not just in the school but also in the wider community. The six members of staff chosen to take part were selected partly on their interest and enthusiasm but also because of their strategic contact with as many pupils at the school as possible to ensure the breadth of coverage.

The other six delegates came from Havering College of Further and Higher Education, In School Counselling at Bower Park School, Havering Connexions, ARC (Pupil Referral Unit), 14-19 Commissioning (Havering) and the Havering Business Education Partnership.

To celebrate the participant’s success and their achievement a cheese and wine event was held after the final session. Jenny Gray, Director of HUBB, Jacey Graham, Governor at Coopers Coborn and Poppy Jaman, CEO of MHFA England also attended and presented the certificates.

As well as having 12 new Youth Mental Health First Aid instructors in Havering another major benefit of this programme is the drive and enthusiasm of all involved, delegates, facilitators and all the organisations involved is expanding the network and good practise in all areas of young people’s mental wellbeing and development.

We are already in the process of developing the skills within this group to look at how we expand YMHFA throughout the borough.
