We will also give you space to reflect on how best to engage with your patients to change behaviour and overcome barriers to awareness and screening. You can help us eliminate cervical cancer in the UK!
• Relevant information and materials.
What do we ask in return?
We ask that everyone who receives our training commits to:
• Sharing key Cervical health messages with 15+ people within 1 month of training.
• Reporting back on numbers of people reached, messages shared and any feedback you receive in your 1 month follow up
What you will learn:
You will learn about the below topics, which will enable you to have conversations with people:
1. What Cervical Cancer is and how it is caused
2. Warning signs & symptoms of cervical cancer
3. How Cervical Cancer can be prevented
4. The barriers women experience to attending screening
If you have any more questions about the training or want to make us aware of topics of special interest, please get in touch with lisa.gates@jostrust.org.uk

Youth MHFA training course that will enable access to at least one Mental Health First Aider to support Children and Young People.
What does the the course offer?
Youth Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) courses are for everyone who works with, lives with or supports young people aged 8-18. They will teach you the skills and confidence to spot the signs of mental health issues in a young person, offer first aid and guide them towards the support they need. In doing so, you can speed up a young person’s recovery and stop a mental health issue from getting worse.
The courses won’t teach you to be a therapist, but we will teach you to listen, reassure and respond, even in a crisis – and even potentially stop a crisis from happening.
But more than that, we aim to give you the information and skills to look after your own mental health so that you can set an example for young people. By giving you the tools to have these conversations, we hope to empower you to create a mentally healthy, supportive environment in your family, school, peer group or community.
Let’s create a future where mental health is treated as a normal part of life, in the same way as physical health. A future where every young person has access to support if they need it.

An in-depth understanding of young people’s mental health and factors that affect wellbeing
Practical skills to spot the triggers and signs of mental health issues
Confidence to reassure and support a young person in distress
