Core topics of the training
The core topics of this training are, on the one hand, the holistic view of the topic and the . "basic neurobiological needs" of man according to Klaus Grawe with the associated emotions and value systems.
Are rudimentary basic physiological needs is not fulfilled, the entire body is not able to optimally maintain and regulate the processes of the eleven body systems.
At the level of basic psychological needs Imbalances also lead to shifts throughout the body by activating various bodily systems, such as the central nervous system or the hormonal system. The more psychological needs are met, the healthier the person.
If basic needs are not met or value systems are threatened, the body reacts with increased arousal, the first stage of stress.
Unpleasant emotions such as anger, fear or sadness are therefore important indicators of unfulfilled needs and values.
During the training, we look together at holistic processes and body reactions to internal and external stimuli and jointly design preventative and strengthening measures for individuals and teams that are suitable for everyday use.

Your trainer
Her trainer, Bettina Tittel – founder and director of the Academy for Mental Health – has been studying how people "function" for almost 30 years.
Initially, I worked for 15 years in my own advertising agency and for over 10 years in the context of individual coaching and psychotherapy as well as group training with different target groups and industries.
In 2021, she founded the academy as an independent trainer network to further spread the word about this important topic in the German-speaking DA-CH region and to raise awareness about it. She currently travels throughout Germany as a speaker and trainer in companies.
She has completed numerous advanced training courses specializing in topics related to mental health, such as stress management, burnout prevention, and resilience training. She has also completed training as a "natural health practitioner for psychotherapy" in order to be able to more clearly distinguish when someone is "still healthy or already ill."
(Unfortunately, in Germany the HPP is the only way to obtain an official therapy permit through second-chance education).
More information about Bettina Tittel with some videos can be found on the page "Trainer profile".

"Dear Bettina, thank you so much for the fantastic two weekends. You conveyed it really well, even though it was online.
I felt that topics I had mentioned in the pre-training briefing were also discussed. Everything was understandable, and if I had any questions, I could ask them. There was enough space for that. I also enjoyed all of the exercises."
Dieter H., Vienna
"I was truly inspired by how much you care about bringing this topic to the world and how much passion you put into your content. With every cell and every fiber of your being, you report on real projects, tell stories from inside, and have something to say about every question – I really, really liked that."
Johannes E., Born
"Despite the diversity of the group, the trainer did an excellent job of integrating everyone and ensuring that everyone gained valuable insights. The successful transition between theory and practice, as well as the varied mix of methods, made the training interesting and extremely informative. The many practical tips that can be applied directly were particularly helpful.
A big thank you for this inspiring and professional training – I can only recommend it!"
Tanja B., Bonn

"The organization of the four days was well structured and organized, the presentations were excellent and clearly structured. Even for me as a beginner, all content and tasks were understandable. Furthermore, all questions were answered competently.
I particularly enjoyed the exercises in small groups and the worksheets were also very helpful.
I learned a lot from the seminar."

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can I offer coaching or training independently after completing my training?
During the four days of the online training, you will learn extensive basic knowledge on the topics of basic psychological needs, primary emotions and value systems of people.
In addition, you will go through various self-experiences using worksheets and exercises as well as feedback in the group, which you can then pass on in individual sessions or in groups, either online or in person.
Based on this knowledge, you should be able to create your own content and formats independently.
If you have any questions after completing your training, we will be happy to help you.
Can I become self-employed after completing my training?
In principle, anyone can become self-employed at any time, either part-time or full-time. For freelance work, all that's required is registration with the tax office; for commercial activity, it's also mandatory to register a business or, alternatively, a small business.
Whether working independently makes sense or is effective depends on what services you want to offer, for which target audience, at what price, and what revenue you want to achieve. We would be happy to discuss this with you in a consultation.
Can I use the training materials afterwards?
You will receive the slides presented during the training as a PDF after the training – please use these slides as inspiration for creating your own presentations
You may use the worksheets and other materials provided in both analog and digital form, but we would like to point out that the materials are subject to so-called "copyright."
We therefore urge you to use the documents only in their original form, including the logo and the associated copyright, and not to succumb to spontaneous source amnesia. Thank you for your understanding.
Is the certificate officially recognized?
The term "certificate" is currently not protected, so the majority of certificates issued by continuing education providers are unfortunately not officially recognized.
Certificates from the Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK) or the Chamber of Crafts (HWK) or the TÜV (Technical Inspection Authority) with a high practical component – usually after extensive in-company training or training with internships – are certified and subject to nationwide standards.
The reputation of the individual certificate therefore depends on the quality of the provider, the lecturer and the specific content.
Am I automatically a trainer at the academy after completing my training?
The team at the Academy for Mental Health consists of freelance trainers throughout Germany with a high level of competence and extensive professional and life experience.
After completing your training, you are not automatically part of the team, but at this point in time we are happy to accept trainers with the appropriate skills.
Is there public funding for this training?
New for self-employed individuals is the "KOMPASS" funding program, which can provide up to 90% of the total cost for training. More information can be found at:
https://www.esf.de/portal/DE/ESF-Plus-2021-2027/Foerderprogramme/bmas/kompass.html
The education voucher is a funding program of the respective federal state that supports participation in further vocational training with varying amounts using European Social Fund resources.
Unfortunately, the education check has been discontinued on June 30, 2024 – we are currently waiting for new information.
The education voucher supports further and advanced training courses that are currently in demand on the labor market, and the costs are fully or partially covered by the employment agency or job center.
The scope and content of the training to become a "Mental Health Supporter" is not designed to lead to employment subject to social insurance contributions after completion, but rather represents an additional benefit for existing positions in the company, such as in BGM or HR, or for independent coaches, trainers or consultants.
