Attention Seekers? Training
Satveer has a passion for reducing stigma around mental health with a focus upon improving understanding of, and response to self-harm behaviours.
Satveer set up her company Attention Seekers? Training and over the last 10 years has delivered hundreds of training sessions. In 2019 Satveer trained almost 15,000 people. Through the business she delivers her own CPD Accredited Self-harm awareness course nationally alongside PSHE/PDC student sessions, parent awareness sessions, conference talks and workshops.
Though the majority of her deliveries are for education-based staff and students, she also delivers to housing staff, doctors, nurses, social workers, community care workers among others. Some of the media work Satveer has been involved in includes having a video featured on Head Talks, writing for the Boarding Schools Association Magazine and featuring in Natasha Devon’s best-selling book ‘A Beginner’s Guide to Being Mental’ and Jonny Benjamin’s ‘101 Voices on Overcoming Adversity’.
The key for Satveer is combining lived experience and evidence to provide robust sessions that remove the taboo of self-harm and suicide to not only increase the confidence of professionals in providing support but also for those who self-harm to feel empowered to seek support.
