About GoodYarn
GoodYarn is an evidence-based, peer-delivered mental health literacy programme for the workplace – both rural and urban. GoodYarn has three key aims and evaluation indicators:
- Increase awareness of signs and symptoms of common mental illnesses;
- Build confidence in starting a conversation where you are concerned; and
- Improve knowledge of where and how to get help.
The programme is overseen by the Good Programmes Trust which is a registered charity. Our trustees and partners train facilitators within businesses who then deliver 3-hour GoodYarn workshops to their staff.
The results are starting to speak for themselves.
