Skills Training

---

Skills training provided by BIRTH Fiji involves equipping individuals with practical skills that can improve their mental health and wellbeing. The objective of skills training is to empower individuals to take an active role in managing their mental health and to improve their ability to cope with life stressors. Through the skills training we hope to increase knowledge and understanding of mental health, improve coping skills, enhance self-awareness, and increase self-efficacy. Overall, skills training is beneficial as it helps individuals develop the skills and tools they need to improve their mental health and wellbeing.
