Mental health training in Camden and Islington

Rethink Mental Illness works in partnership with Camden and Islington Councils to deliver a range of mental health training.

The training complements broader work to raise awareness of mental health issues, tackle stigma relating to mental illness, and improve the mental health and wellbeing of all people within the boroughs. 

The councils have funded the training for any organisations, community groups and individuals who live, work, volunteer, or study in Camden or Islington.   Please get in touch to find out more: 0333 222 5878 or training@rethink.org
