Mental Health First Aid – 2 day.

In the last few years, all key elements of our lives have changed beyond recognition. Our workplaces are no longer a massive office building, we now have a hybrid working system and many of us now work from home. We’ve been through the isolation of the pandemic, the cost-of-living crisis, and the dreadful rise in inflation, pushing mortgages through the roof. Everyone’s mental health has been challenged in some way.

Mental Health First Aiders (MHFAiders®) are vital to helping boost employee wellbeing as we adjust to a completely changed workplace environment.

The course is split into four modules. The course can be delivered over 2 days or over 4 half days if virtual delivery is preferred.

Modules cover important mental health subjects such as:

The impact of mental health
Stigma
Prevalence and risk factors
The MHFA action plan
Stress
Depression
Suicide
Substance misuse
Non judgemental listening
Anxiety
Eating disorders
Self harm
Psychosis -Schizophrenia and Bipolar disorder
Building mentally healthy workplaces
