I’m Chris Grant — a freelance mental health trainer, facilitator, and full-time dad based in Scotland.

I care about Suicide Prevention and challenging Mental Health Stigma.

Since 2008, I've been dedicated to using movement, creativity, and conversation to support people and communities. My journey began with founding a Parkour coaching business, which led me into youth work, mental health training, and facilitation. Over the years, I've delivered projects across the UK and internationally, including in Jamaica, Trinidad, Sweden, Hong Kong, and the US.

Currently, I specialise in delivering Mental Health First Aid (Scotland & England) and ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training). I support organisations to embed mentally healthy cultures, reduce stigma, and build confidence in responding to mental health and suicide. My clients range from third sector teams and local authorities to universities and community groups.

Alongside mental health training, I also provide Groupwork and Facilitation skills training — helping practitioners, educators and leaders design and lead more meaningful sessions. I can also support and Develop Learning Materials for workshops and programmes, ensuring they’re accessible, engaging, and grounded in good practice.

I draw on a varied background that includes youth work, movement and physical theatre, Parkour, business development, and a library of borrowed and stolen good practice(!). I work best in rooms filled with curiosity, openness, and a willingness to grow — with volunteers, young people, artists, educators, business leaders, and fellow facilitators.

I aim to bring a practical, person-centred approach rooted in group work, facilitation, and shared experiences.

If you're working on a project that supports people’s wellbeing or growth, I’d love to hear from you. You can reach me via the contact links at the top of the page — or find me on socials and email.
