A practical mini-manual for VET schools: choose a format, adapt the materials, schedule delivery, and build mental-health prevention into everyday school life.
The F3 Trainings Toolbox gives you ready-made session plans from partner countries, organised by prevention theme (Groups A-D) and by format: Short (one-off intro), 1 and 1/2 Day (deeper half-day or day-and-a-half event), and Monthly (five monthly sessions). Open each training in your browser, print to PDF if needed, and deliver with your existing school structures.
Each format has a different time footprint. Pick what fits your school calendar and the depth you need.
A one-time introduction to a topic, ideal for an assembly slot, tutor hour, or a single workshop block.
A focused event with more exercises, reflection, and group work: one full day (8 h) plus a half day the next morning (4 h).
A monthly programme that revisits themes over time; habits stick better when students and staff return to the topic regularly.
Use these patterns when planning with your coordination team. Bars show when delivery happens, not preparation time.
Short: single 2 h session (example: Week 3, Tuesday)
Medium: 1½ day event (8 h + 4 h, example: Thu full day + Fri morning)
Long: 5 monthly sessions (example: Sep → Jan, 2 h each)
A simple workflow any school can follow, from first download to delivery and review.
Pick a Group (A–D) that matches your school priority. Start with a Short training if you are new; move to Medium or Long for deeper impact.
From the catalog, click a training to open it in your browser. Read objectives and timing before adapting. Use Download PDF on the training page to save or print a copy.
Translate if needed, swap examples for your VET context, and trim activities to fit your slot. Keep safeguarding and privacy rules from your school.
Book room, notify tutors, and share a one-paragraph “why we’re doing this” with students. For Long series, fix all five dates upfront.
Run the session with the facilitator guide. Afterward, note what worked, collect anonymous feedback, and decide the next training from the catalog.
Most materials are designed for an adult facilitator. Students can co-lead parts with preparation, not as sole facilitators for sensitive topics.
Best for Short and Medium formats in class or year groups. Use the session plan as your lesson structure.
Ideal lead for Medium and Long series, especially Groups A and D. Supports referrals if issues arise.
Can co-facilitate and follow up between Long sessions. Good link to tutor time and wellbeing boards.
Can help with icebreakers, posters, and peer conversations after adult-led sessions, with training and clear boundaries.
You do not need special software. Start from the downloaded Word files, then build slides and handouts with tools you already use.
Return to the catalog, filter by type (Short / 1 and 1/2 Day / Monthly) or theme (A-D), and open the training that fits your school.
