We draw on 50 years’ experience of supporting young people and a unique take on mental health to offer engaging, relevant and practical training. This might be of particular interest for those working with young people, but we believe that the lessons we’ve learned apply across the board. Our entire offer can be tailored to your specific needs and delivered in your setting. 

We want to respond to the needs of our community, and specifically the young people within them. If there’s an area that you feel you need help with, but can’t see it here, get in touch. As an agile and creative team, we relish having new challenges and would love to see how we can help you!

If you would like to explore how we can help you, please contact diffusion@otrbristol.org.uk

"I have worked in the area of mental health for all of my working life, and as I head into my last year of working, I wanted to do something to mark the occasion! Being in lockdown made me realise how much I miss my friends and how important they are for my mental health.

So one eve when I could not sleep I looked on Facebook and realised I had 365 friends (it just popped up!) it got me thinking! Could I do a virtual coffee/catch up with everyone on my Facebook friends and for every meeting I would put a £1 in the pot each day, therefore at the end of the year there would be £365 to celebrate my career and thank OTR for having me as their chair of trustees!

For each coffee, my friends have been asked to match that £1, apparently they are up for it and think its a great idea! As I do this, I will keep a diary and ask them two questions: what should I do in retirement and what should I do to look after myself! I thought it would be a bit of fun, raise some money and give me something to celebrate at the end of the year!"
