Mental Health First Aid - an Introduction

We all have a state of mental health, just as we all have a state of physical health. This introductory course will enable you to develop some introductory knowledge of mental health first aid whether as a volunteer or employee. This course aims to allow you to feel more confident to identify and support individuals who may be experiencing mental health distress or difficulties and signpost them in the correct pathway.  It will also show you how to promote mental health recovery, provide comfort to a person experiencing mental distress, and recognise the warning signs and respond effectively to minimise risk.
