Andrea from Thrive Minds set up the business in X and is one of the leading providers in the delivery of face-to-face and online mental health training offered to participants from a wide variety of organisations including public/private sector, government departments and agencies, post-primary schools, non-profit organisations and community groups.
Our focus is on delivering training tailored to the specific context and needs of participants and organisations.
We specialise in providing mental health training programs for organisations striving to create and maintain a culture where it’s okay to talk about mental health wellbeing and encourage those who may be experiencing mental health issues to get the right appropriate help, with the support of their employer, family and friends.
Participants who attend our training events leave feeling more equipped to notice when they and others might be experiencing mental health issues and how to help source the support they or others may need.
Andrea combines her professional expertise with a practical, engaging approach, ensuring participants gain confidence and actionable strategies they can implement immediately, fostering a supportive environment wherever they work or live. In addition to mental health training, Andrea also provides specialist programmes around trauma-informed practice, neurodiversity, child protection, parenting, and working within the criminal justice system. She believes that education and awareness are the keys to building resilience, reducing stigma, and creating safer, healthier workplaces and communities. Thrive Minds is committed to making a real difference, empowering both individuals and organisations to promote mental wellbeing, offer meaningful support, and respond effectively to challenges as they arise.
