skills for life training
Sheffield
If you have ever listened to a colleague or family member in confidence, or ever
needed support yourself, you will know how valuable good listening skills and a
general understanding of mental health and ill-health can be. Mental Health
First Aid is a practical training programme (2 days at most) which equips anyone
who is willing to learn with the knowledge and best practice skills they can
apply when supporting a friend, colleague or loved one with stress or other
mental health issues. It is not a substitute for qualified professional help.
But it does enable ordinary people to be present and proactive in signposting
those who need it to medical or psychological services.
