Our Mission
At Mentally Trained, we believe every young person should have a champion: an adult who is equipped, prepared, and confident in supporting their mental wellbeing. Our goal is to reduce stigma, deepen understanding, and provide practical tools for recognising and responding to mental health concerns in young people.
About Us
Mentally Trained was founded by Abbie, a qualified Youth Mental Health First Aid Instructor, high school teacher, and Associate Lecturer at the University of Newcastle. Her doctoral research examined adults’ confidence and preparedness to support student mental health, revealing a significant need for practical and accessible guidance in this area. In response, Mentally Trained was created to make high-quality, evidence-based training available to any adult who wants to better support the mental wellbeing of the young people in their lives.
