bigmoose mental health first aid training

this course will be across 2 days - the first session will be on the 5th august, the second on the 12th august. 

1 in 4 of us are suffering with our mental health at any given time in the uk. this needs to change. mental health first aid training teaches us how to spot the signs of mental illness, and how we can support those struggling. whether your part of a workplace team wanting to create a safer work culture, or an individual wanting to gain a better understanding of mental health, mental health first aid will equip you with the practical skills to support those who are struggling.

after exploring the question “what is mental health?”, you will learn how to recognise and provide first aid for a range of conditions, including:

• depression
• anxiety
• psychosis
• substance use

this course uses examples for each topic and there is plenty of discussion where learners can share their thoughts and ask questions. you will also learn how to best take care of yourself, so that you can be there for others.
