Mental Health Advocacy (Mental Health First Aid)

Workshop Only

Online or On-Site

2 Days (6 Hours Per Day)

12 Hours

This 2-day CPD UK accredited course provides employees and managers with all the skills needed to help someone who might be struggling with their mental health.

Delegates will understand the importance of mental health at work and build the confidence and practical skills to step in and support a person in distress. They’ll explore common mental health conditions, self-harm and suicide and understand where they can signpost to for additional support.

The importance of a pro-active workplace culture is reviewed, and delegates learn to identify and attend to issues at work that might contribute to poor mental health. A key element of this training is to ensure delegates understand their boundaries and limitations. All delegates who attend this course receive an Advocacy support pack, and gain access to a dedicated helpline to support them in their advocacy role for 12 months post course completion.
