MENS MENTAL HEALTH
We’re proud to share that Coastal Path Care are sponsoring one of our own, Ste Betteridge, as he takes part in the upcoming mental health plate and shield ⚽💙
Supporting our staff both in and outside of the workplace is something that really matters to us. Ste is a valued member of our team, and we’re pleased to be backing him in something that not only reflects his passion, but also raises awareness around men’s mental health — an area that deserves continued focus and conversation.
At Coastal Path Care, we believe in building strong relationships, supporting wellbeing, and being part of something bigger — both within our homes and in the wider community.
Good luck Ste — we’re all behind you 👏

THE JJ EFFECT
Some of the Coastal Path Care team had the privilege of taking part in The JJ Effect and what an experience it was.
The session was incredibly well presented, thought-provoking, and truly engaging from start to finish. Byron delivered powerful message around knife crime that left a real impact on everyone in the room. His ability to share lived experience in such an honest and meaningful way is something you can’t replicate in a textbook, it’s the kind of training that stays with you.
The feedback from staff has been overwhelmingly positive. This is exactly the kind of real, relatable input our sector needs. We couldn’t recommend it enough, The JJ Effect is the real deal.
Huge thank you to Byron Highton for your time, passion, and bravery in sharing your story. Lived experience is the most powerful form of education.
JM Training Academy
We’ve had the pleasure of two full days of training with James Morris at JM Training Academy!
Our team participated in sessions covering Missing from Home, County Lines, and Drugs & Alcohol Psychosis. The training was fantastic, packed with practical strategies, high-quality resources, and insightful discussion.
Our staff have already benefitted hugely from the learning, gaining valuable knowledge and tools to enhance their practice and support the young people in our care.
As always, James delivered the sessions with energy, expertise, and a wealth of knowledge — a truly engaging and impactful experience for all.
A huge thank you to James and JM Training for their continued support in helping us deliver safe, trauma-informed care.
