Training
Are you a youth leader in a church or school setting? Are you looking for a resource to support the work you do in tackling mental health issues?
The Kardia course aims to raise self-esteem and combat negative thinking patterns through teaching young people about neuroscience and faith. We are passionate about seeing young people learn the skills necessary to take responsibility for their own mental wellbeing.
We can train you, so you are fully equipped to understand the teaching in neuroscience, the use of the Kardia workbook and journal and the overall journey the course takes young people on. We want to support youth leaders in churches, youth groups and schools to improve the mental health of the young people you work with through the Kardia course, which is a blend of neuroscience and faith.
We offer a training package to you, the youth leader, to enable you to deliver the Kardia course in your own setting. We hold an initial training day, which gives you an overview of the course material and how it all fits together, empowering you to deliver it confidently to your young people.
After you have successfully completed the training day, you will have access to our online ‘tool kit’ which includes a powerpoint for each session, parental consent forms and other helpful documentation, ice breaker ideas and much more! There is also the option to sign up for a 12-month subscription, giving you access to Kardia resources all year round.
If you work with young people in a church, youth group or school and would like to run the Kardia course in your setting, we’d love to have you book on to one of our training days!
Training costs
There are a few options to meet your training needs. We recommend that two people from your organisation are trained together. If you have any questions or would like an in-person training day for your whole team, please contact us.

Host a course
We are based in the North West of England. If you are less than an hour away, we can come to you each week and facilitate the course. The ideal number of young people is 8-10 per course.
The cost is £500 per course, which covers all materials required. However, we don’t ever want finance to prevent access to the course, so please contact us with any queries as subsidised places are available.
If this is something you'd be interested in, please get in touch with us.
We'd love to hear from you
If you have any other questions about our course, how we can help the young people you support, or other ways in which we can work together, please get in touch, we'd love to hear from you.
