To help members during this time of lock down, STS is putting on a programme of online webinars on areas of interest expressed by members through our education survey. To keep sessions accessible they are completely free, are normally only an hour long and run in the early evening so members still working can access them. Mental health is something we all need to take care of because just like our physical health there are times when this is better and times when it is not in the shape we would like it to be. As part of the STS family, it is important we look out for each other. This course will provide a very basic level of helping to understand mental health, what signs to look out for, and what action you can take, whether it is for yourself, friends and family, or a club member.

As with our physical first aid course, this workshop is being delivered by Bruce Jenner, a trained paramedic but with over 20 years of military and target shooting experience and we are working with Bruce to develop a full course for shooters to be delivered in person, when circumstances allow. However, for now, this session is aimed at informing you about some of the basics and provide an opportunity to answer any questions you may have.
