Mental Health First Aid Training
How prepared is your organisation to support Mental Health in the workplace?
Mental health symptoms are on the rise, especially in the current climate, and it is highly likely that your employees will be affected at some point by mental health issues either personally, through a family member, friend or colleague. It is therefore important that organisations take steps to support their staff in a working context.
OPA Health deliver the internationally recognised training from Mental Health England. Mental Health First Aid is a two-day training course which can assist your staff with practical skills to apply both in the workplace and in their personal lives. This includes being able to spot signs and symptoms of poor mental health, knowing where and when to signpost to get help, being able to support in a mental health crisis including when someone feels suicidal and increasing confidence to offer support. Promoting this course demonstrates commitment to positive mental health for all and means the organisation can proudly attach the Mental Health England logo to their documentation. The approach is supported by the HSE as a measure that companies can take to addresses mental ill health and stress in the workplace.
