Who Are We?
Mind and Body is a mental health training provider with a difference. We’ve been there, on both sides of the coin: as mental health service users and providers.
We’re an NZQA-registered Private Training Establishment that can meet a range of training needs for New Zealand’s mental health workforce. Our trainers have significant experience of working in mental health support services, in addition to strong teaching backgrounds, and almost all have direct personal experience of recovery from mental distress.
Our training is based on our experience providing Peer Support and other mental health services in New Zealand for over a decade. For Peer Support Workers, we offer the Certificate in Peer Support, the only Level 4 course designed specifically for the unique challenges of their role. For all mental health workers, our one-day workshops are a rigorous but cost effective source of professional development, taught by people who know the challenges of the work.
