Description
The importance of mental health awareness cannot be underestimated, especially within an organisational setting. To ensure that this remains high on the employee welfare agenda, the presence of a fully trained Mental Health First Aider in the workplace is highly recommended.
This two-day course is designed to increase the delegate’s knowledge of mental health and their confidence towards it. By attending, they will be encouraged to notice the key indicators of somebody experiencing a mental health problem, which is backed up by the ability to provide mental health first aid and support.
Upon completion of training, delegates will receive a certificate to confirm their qualification as a Mental Health First Aider. They will also have access to a mental health first aid manual, which contains useful information for best practice in the workplace.
When embracing the subject of mental wellbeing, businesses are more likely to see an increase in the productivity of their employees, whilst creating an open culture that breeds positive attitudes.
