Workshops & Information Sessions
At TCMA, we understand each organization is unique and will benefit most from a structured workshop that delivers content tailored to their specific needs. In order to achieve this, we will work with you to determine key learning outcomes and ensure your wellness workshop is adapted to suit.
Our Promise
When you invest in TCMA, organizations grow.
Our face-to-face workshops are presented by our lead counsel alongside other guest trainees across relevant sectors. Our team have a collective 26 years of experience in the mental health sector, including medical education, research and teaching and health promotion.
During the mental health and wellbeing workshop, learners will gain practical strategies through engaging and effective interactive training, including role-playing, real-life scenarios, case studies and simulations that help to reinforce learnings taken from the online eLearning modules. Workshops can be tailored to suit each organisation and vary in duration from full-day, half-day and 1.5 hours.
Although the content delivered is flexible to accommodate for a range of industries, our wellness workshop format stays true to our Framework and lived experience approach. By delivering content through lived experience sharing, we facilitate an engaging and memorable workshop that encourages reflection and thoughtful process which stands to benefit learners now and into the future.
Our Approach
TCMA Mental Health Framework
Our Framework was designed with a working group of health professionals, lived experience informed advisory group, and representatives from the across healthcare, education, legal and academic sectors. The Framework outlines a set of guiding principles for clinical governance to ensure the delivery of safe and high-quality mental healthcare education.
The Framework has been established to:
Increase mental health Awareness, Build knowledge and improve Competency levels of learners
Propagate health promotion, prevention and early intervention across the continuum of care, including connections to care pathways
Adopt a strengths-based approach, underpinned by positive psychology in recognition that inherent strengths and social resources can contribute to wellbeing
Recognize the Care Model endorsed by various Governments across Africa in their Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Plan
Informed by the socio-ecological model that is settings-based, enabling training to be tailored to the specific audience the training is targeting
Ensure psychological safety is built into training
Build mental health literacy capability of learners to support early help-seeking behaviour, reduce stigma and support inclusive and compassionate care conversations
Support measurement of performance outcomes to evaluate of effectiveness of training and support continuous improvement in quality and safety
Ensure strong cross sector education and health clinical leadership
Ensure professional standards or industry recognised Frameworks are mapped to learning outcomes
Competency-Based Training
Competency based education enables each learner the opportunity to move forward at their own pace in building mental health and wellbeing knowledge and skills. It provides flexibility in the learning process, allowing the learner to build inherent skills, no matter their knowledge background or mental health literacy levels.
TCMA has established set of competencies across the spectrum of mental ill-health and specific needs of the target group. Performance measurement criteria is assessed in two ways:
TCMA Self-Efficacy Scale issued prior to commencement (pre) and end of course (post), is used to measure changes in confidence level for understanding mental ill-health and applying practical strategies to support help-seeking behaviour.
Level of attainment of key skills and capabilities is assessed for each training module through post-training quiz questions. Training is outcomes-focused, relying more on the learner’s ability to apply knowledge, skills and abilities to the standards of performance in the TCMA Framework for mental health and wellbeing.
Our Framework levels of competency are tailored to the sector, and contextualised for the environment in which they are practiced. For example, non-clinical school and tertiary sector educators, have varied levels of skills and experience they bring to a young person’s mental health and wellbeing.
Attaining higher level of competency is also available to TCMA learners, through ongoing access to the platform and our constant quest for vital partnerships.
TCMA is also able to generate reporting on effectiveness of training and certify course participants.
Engaging, thought -provoking and apt are my three words for the mental health day Webinar we just concluded. Not like anything I've experienced lately. I give it to the TCM Academy and the coach who handled the training. He repped them good 👍
The facilitator was sound, knowledgeable and relatable. I had to go googling, turns out he also had plenty work experience and I was not supprised, the mood chart provided in the seminar had helped me documents the yo-yo effect I was battling and on sending it across, I felt the academy will not revert but I was supprised when their lead counsel responded to me and gave me 20minutes of analysis time. All I can say is that they have wellbeing at the heart of their practice. Highly recommend..
The 2022 mental health webinar has helped me and my colleagues a lot. Working from home in a tech firm is not always what it looks like but this course changed it all.
