Learn how to help someone experiencing a mental health problem
What is Mental Health First Aid?
Mental Health First Aid is a common sense approach to mental health awareness using the first aid model.
It is designed to raise awareness of mental health issues and reduce the stigma and discrimination often associated with them in the community.
Mental health problems are common with 1 in 4 British adults experiencing them every year.
Mental Health First Aid gives ordinary men and women the tools they need:
to recognise the symptoms of mental health problems
to provide initial help
to guide a person towards appropriate professional help.
Clients have included Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service, Rotherham PCT,Kays Medical, Sefton PCT, the Yorkshire and Humber Improvement Partnership, the Northumberland Strategic Partnership, Mind in Sedgemoor and NHS Stockton on Tees.
The course is delivered over 12 hours, usually spread over two days. There are no selection criteria as the course is aimed at ordinary people rather than health professionals.
Courses of up to 15 participants can be arranged in-house if an organisation has suitable facilities. Smaller groups or individuals wishing to train can contact Bill at info@mentalhealthfirstaidnortheast.co.uk
or on 01325 722772. Please browse the rest of the site for more details
