What is perinatal mental health and fathers?  The term ‘perinatal’ refers to the period of time around childbirth. Interpretations of the timeframe of this period vary; in some cases, it includes the time before conception until two years after an infant has been born. In the UK, the First 1001 Days Movement raises awareness of the developmental significance of the first two and a half years of a child’s life. In the course we explain: High risk of suicide in new fathers. The impact on the partner and the development of the child. PTSD, Perinatal Anxiety and Depression in fathers.  Signs, Symptoms and how to engage with fathers.  Importance of bonding and attachment with father - baby. Biological risk factors 

This QA Level 2 Award in citizenAID (RQF) course is a half-day course to teach the skills and knowledge needed in case one finds themselves in the middle of a terrorist attack. The skills are also usable in any event where there might be either multiple or severely injured people. Past attendees said:  Attended the citizen aid course this week, absolutely brilliant. Whilst we all hope that we are never involved in a major incident, the big question though would be are we prepared, what would we do? This course discusses various incidents and some are uncomfortable to think about, but if something happened most people panic, after this course you are likely to stay calm, take control and above all save lives. This course is for everyone due to the current threats in the world, However large companies especially should consider training their staff, it may save your life or someone close to you. Highly recommended, well presented and really interesting.

Supervising first aid for mental health: What will you learn? You’ll be surprised by how much you enjoy this 2-day course. I always make sure the learning process is engaging, interactive and stimulating — so you won’t be bored. Most importantly, the training course gives you a fascinating insight into a subject that’s often brushed under the carpet. This is a safe space to speak. Provided you feel comfortable to do so, there’s plenty of opportunity to open up and share your own experiences. It’s a flexible course, and I’m always happy to tailor the content. If there’s an aspect of mental health or addiction you’d like to know more about, please just ask. Here’s the course content Defining mental health, and understanding the stigma surrounding it Factors which affect mental health Roles and responsibilities of a first aider Outline of advice — What to say to someone with a suspected mental health condition Listening without judgement Knowing when to contact the emergency services Identifying signs of stress, and how stress can be managed Alcohol and drug abuse — Its effects, and the consequences for someone’s work and personal life Applying a first aid action plan How to implement a positive mental health culture in the workplace Identifying signs and symptoms of depression, suicide, psychosis, anxiety, self-harm, eating disorders, PTSD, personality disorders, bipolar and schizophrenia Do bear in mind, this course can’t teach you how to diagnose and treat a mental health condition. That’s the responsibility of a healthcare professional. However, you’ll know where to signpost an individual who needs professional help. You’ll leave with the knowledge and confidence to approach, reassure and support someone when they need it most. Group sessions (min 6 people, max 16): £245 per person
