Practical Skills Demonstrations: Trainers may demonstrate practical skills and techniques for providing mental health first aid, such as active listening, empathetic communication, and crisis intervention. Participants will have the opportunity to observe and learn from these demonstrations before practicing the skills themselves. Role-Playing and Simulations: Role-playing exercises and simulations may be used to simulate real-life scenarios and provide participants with hands-on practice in responding to mental health crises. This allows them to develop their skills in a safe and controlled environment and receive feedback from the trainer and peers. Assessment and Certification: Participants will undergo assessments to demonstrate their understanding of the course content and their ability to apply their knowledge and skills in practical scenarios. Successful completion of the assessments leads to the awarding of the RQF Level 2 First Aid for Mental Health qualification. It's important to note that the specific delivery methods and approaches may vary depending on the training provider, course duration, and the resources available. Participants should check with the training provider for detailed information on the course delivery format and any specific requirements or prerequisites for participation. Overall, the aim of the course delivery is to create an engaging and interactive learning environment that allows participants to gain the necessary knowledge, skills, and confidence to provide effective support to individuals experiencing mental health challenges.
