Mental Health First Aid
Mental Health issues in the Workplace are becoming more recognised with about 1 in 6 people experiencing them. This can lead to stress, underachievement and absences. Until now this has, to some extent, been suppressed to avoid stigma labelling and fear of the loss of a job.
These Mental Health First Aid courses help employers and their staff recognise the symptoms, to start a supportive conversation and to signpost further help.
These courses are delivered in person. Public course dates for the Levels 1 & 2 courses can be found on the calendar, or you can contact us for a private Group Booking. Level 3 courses are only delivered as a private Group Booking.
