Mental Health Awareness & First Aid Training Course Overview

We have divided this course content into three phases:

  2. What Mental Health First Aiders can do to provide practical, effective and immediate care for colleagues with Mental health difficulties. We teach “Therapeutic Communication Skills”, which is the study of how to use words to positively affect others.
  3. The longer-range support that M.H. First Aiders can provide to colleagues, by means of affecting the work environment in order to minimise the probabilities of further instances of mental health issues. Finally, we look at how to refer colleagues to the relevant mental health services.
