Through our training we aim to ensure they have knowledge and skills of how to spot the signs of clients suffering with mental health and be the support for that person. We educate professionals on not how to be counsellors but with the aid of the four pillars of Barbertalk Recognise, Ask, Listen and Help, we can bridge the gap between the communities we serve and the resources available while providing a safe non-judgemental safe space to share and open up and offload. Our dream is to share our training internationally.
