At the end of the course, your employees who attend will be qualified Mental Health First Aiders giving them:
 
An in-depth understanding of mental health and the factors that can affect wellbeing.
Practical skills to spot the signs that someone might be experiencing a range of mental health issues.
Confidence to step in, reassure and support an employee who is in distress.
Enhanced interpersonal skills such as non-judgemental listening.
Knowledge to help someone recover their health by signposting them to further support eg: self-help resources, internal support such as EAP or external sources as their GP and other health professionals.
An understanding of how to keep themselves safe whilst performing their duties and supporting others.
 
How it works
The live online sessions are divided across four manageable sessions via an online learning hub called Enabley.
Delegates are required to complete some self-directed learning or 1-2hrs in between each live session.
Learning takes place through a mix of presentations, group discussions, activities and there is plenty of opportunity to ask questions as we go along.
Each session is built around a Mental Health First Aid action plan.
We can accept a maximum of 16 people on any one course at a time, to ensure that the instructor can keep people safe and supported whilst they learn.
