Training & Events Calendar
ATLAS is delighted to announce that we will be sponsoring the SLPTG Apprentice Awards this year which will be held on Thursday 5 March at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in Manchester.

Join us at the next ATLAS Members Meeting.
A full agenda for the meeting is available here. Members attending will hear a presentation from Brian Parker, a Mental Health First Aid Instructor, on his first hand experiences of dealing with mental health related incidents in the workplace, as well as the “dos” and “don’ts” of starting a mental health awareness campaign. The Secretariat will then be telling members how they can access mental health first aider training for free, as part of their subscription.
