Mental Health First Aid is an initial response to distress and all participants on the course understand that this help is given only until other suitable or professional help can be found.
The two day course covers:
- Guidance on being a Mental Health First Aider
- Attitudes to mental health issues
- Equalities
- The recovery message
- The impact of alcohol and drugs on mental health
- Introduction to suicide intervention
- Listening skills
- Understanding depression
- How to offer first aid to someone experiencing depression
- Understanding anxiety
- How to offer first aid to someone experiencing anxiety
- Understanding psychosis
- How to offer first aid to someone experiencing a psychotic episode
The course does not train people to be mental health workers. It offers basic general information about mental health problems. The knowledge presented and understanding developed in the course helps to remove stigma and fear and to give confidence in approaching a person in distress.
Refreshments and a light lunch is included.
Invoicing will be sent once the course has been delivered.
