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
