Free Mental Health Training & Workshops Across Conwy
Helping people across Conwy build confidence to talk about mental health, break stigma, and take action.
What is a Mental Health Changemaker?
Changemakers is all about culture change – building a community where people across Conwy feel confident talking about mental health and breaking stigma in their workplaces, communities, and social circles.
This initiative is open to everyone.
You don’t need to be a mental health expert.
You just need to care.
What does being a Changemaker involve?
There are two parts to the Changemakers initiative:
1. Changemakers Training Sessions – Free for Groups of 6+
These interactive free workshops blend practical training with energising, honest discussion. We run them for groups across Conwy – from workplaces and community groups to sports teams and student societies.
Each session is designed to:
✔ Build confidence talking about mental health
✔ Break down stigma and challenge unhelpful myths
✔ Help normalise everyday mental health conversations
You’ll leave the session not just informed – but empowered.
You’ll also receive a Mental Health Changemaker certificate, showing your commitment to being part of a more open, supportive Conwy.
This workshop has been co-created with lived experience volunteers, ensuring it’s relevant, respectful, and rooted in real voices and experiences.
Got a group of 6 or more? Sessions are completely free to book.
📩 Email paul.williams@conwymind.org.uk to book a session or find out more.
2. The Changemakers Community
Attending a session is just the beginning. You’ll be part of a wider movement of people who are taking small (and sometimes big) steps to keep mental health on the agenda in their communities.
You might…
- Check in on someone who’s been quiet
- Start a conversation that breaks stigma
- Share your story, or listen deeply to someone else’s
- Make your workplace, club, or friendship group a safer, more open space
Changemakers take action in ways that feel natural to them. You don’t need to fundraise thousands or start a campaign – even small acts can create big ripple effects.
To help inspire action, we’ve co-created six Changemaker Types with people who have lived experience of mental health challenges and stigma. Find the one that feels like you:
⚡ Catalyst – Breaks stigma through everyday conversations
📖 Storyteller – Uses their voice to inspire and educate
📣 Advocate – Challenges stigma in public spaces and online
🤝 Connector – Creates spaces where mental health is welcomed
💡 Learner – Deepens their knowledge to help others
🎁 Giver – Gives time, skills, or funds to support change
Ready to become a Changemaker?
If you’ve got a group of 6 or more, we’d love to run a session with you.

Or get in touch to ask any questions – we’d love to hear from you.
Together, we can make Conwy a place where talking about mental health is just part of everyday life.
Mental Health Changemakers is a key part of the Changing Minds Project, sitting alongside our Mental Health MOTs which focus on early support.
