For 5 years I ran an intervention project where disadvantaged young people fed vulnerable, elderly residents. Since 2015 I have volunteered for The Forward Trust (previously known as RAPt).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am married with a 21-year-old son.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alongside mental health, I have interests in nutrition, mindfulness, art and literature. I also make a mean sourdough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have successfully delivered the MHFA course to a wide-ranging group of clients including the MOD, Serco, BBC, NHS, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Arcadia University and community healthcare professionals. I have an ongoing relationship with a large City consultancy, following two successful sessions with their staff. This year I have delivered 20 courses for a major UK manufacturer. I have given keynote lectures and talks on Mental Health to organisations such as the Institute of Quarrying and City businesses, and given talks on mindfulness practice to children and adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I offer both closed and open accredited courses, can connect immediately and effectively with professionals at any level, and have delivered the MHFA course both singly and with co-presenters. I understand that for many organisations and businesses the issues around mental health are new and complex, and I make it my mission both to prepare managers with clarity and to deliver coherently to staff.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please don\u2019t hesitate to contact me &#8211; whether you are interested in booking a course, or simply want to learn more about the world of mental health.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Accreditations <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adult MHFA Two Day (30\/04\/2017)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adult MHFA Half Day (07\/06\/2018)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adult MHFA One Day (10\/04\/2019)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adult MHFA Refresher<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adult MHFA Online<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DBS Cleared to work with vulnerable children and adults<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Volunteer &#8211; RAPt<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clean Full Driving Licence<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NVQ L3 in Advice &amp; Guidance 2017 (St Giles Trust)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi, I&#8217;m Jake I am a licensed, insured MHFA Adult instructor based in East London, but more than happy to travel.&nbsp; I have a background in hospitality, catering and events, having run restaurants in London and worked with the Hay Festival.&nbsp; In 2012 I was a founder of a new secondary school in Whitechapel, East [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-72","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jakekemp.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/72","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jakekemp.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jakekemp.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jakekemp.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jakekemp.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=72"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/jakekemp.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/72\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":86,"href":"https:\/\/jakekemp.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/72\/revisions\/86"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jakekemp.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=72"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
