What We Offer
How would Mental Health First Aid Training benefit your work group?
Your organisation will have a mixture of employees from varied age groups. They will have a variety of backgrounds, education and life experience, and based on the numbers above, those employees will already have had or develop a mental health issue.
Training your team with the tools mental health first aid training will provide,
work colleagues will be able to recognise when a person is having or developing a mental health crisis.
In turn, the training will provide those in management roles, an insight into what support will be required in the workplace. Additionally, the training will provide a background to the development of a Mental Health Support Strategy for employees/contractors.
On a broader front, your work group, interacts with a large number of people in a variety of places on a daily basis.
