The counselling service and together consent are delighted to be offering First Responder Training on the 26th October. This training is aimed at members of our college community who are deemed likely to have disclosures of sexual misconduct made to them - i.e. tutors, student welfare volunteers, lecturers, security staff etc.
The training will consist of discussions around how to respond to disclosures of sexual misconduct compassionately, signposting within the college and using external services, and conversations around the cultural barriers to disclosing sexual misconduct. The half-day training will take place on the 27th of October 2020 at 10am and is free for trinity staff and students. Please register your interest using this form
Looking forward to seeing you there!
For Students
We can provide workshops and psychoeducational talks free of charge on a number of topics relevant to student mental health and wellbeing. Please complete the request form at the bottom of this page to request a workshop or talk.
In most instances, we recommend the Minding Our Mental Health in College programme. This covers topics such as stress, resilience, managing difficult emotions, and dealing with self-criticism.
For Fresher Classes we suggest our one hour lecture.
For Sophister Classes, Postgraduates, or groups who know each other a little better, we recommend a 1.5 hour or 2 hour workshop, which covers similar topics but involves more interactive learning, including basic active listening skills.
