Extra Information:
Currently APTs don't receive any mental health awareness training, despite being front line staff. If they had mental health awareness training it would mean better support for our students, better sign posting and more informed staff.
It doesn't mean they become counsellors, it just means they know what to say, and what not to say to students and where to sign post them too.
