Open Access Booking

Leeds Mind provides a range of mental health training. With packages usually catering for 16 people, we know that not all people or organisations will be able to benefit from this. That’s why we’re offering the Skills for Managers course as an Open Access session. So anyone can book a single place.

This will benefit small businesses that haven’t got the budget or capacity within their teams to commission all places on the course. It will also benefit smaller community organisations (there is a discount available for Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs)).
