Testing the site too.
We are not in a mental health setting, however, an organisation has been in contact about giving training to our volunteers and volunteer service team on Psychological First Aid (PFA ), to give ideas and teach skills to volunteers and the service team when dealing with peers, colleagues and visitors to the trust, who will have been affected by the coronavirus.

@Patricia HuntAh, thanks Pat! I think we shared some information about this course on Connect before. Have your volunteers attended the course? Did they find them useful?
