A fundamental part of Mental Health First Aid is listening without judgement. Having the confidence to approach someone and have a conversation can make a huge difference in ensuring they know where to access support and this can prevent a deterioration in mental health.
Organisations that invest in Mental Health First Aid training are sending a clear message to their employees that mental health in the workplace is a priority. They aim to reduce stigma, open dialogue about mental health issues and support people through recovery.
Please take a look at the range of courses we deliver below.
