Mental health first aid is one of the fastest growing and most necessary fields today. With mental health becoming a serious and widespread problem, it is necessary that people are prepared to lend a helping hand and offer immediate support to those suffering.
In the past, the stigma related to mental health has often prevented this kind of help from reaching those affected. Although plenty of emphasis is placed on physical health and traditional first aid, this has not always been the case when it comes to mental health and mental health first aid.
In this course, you have the chance to become well-versed in the different types of mental illnesses and how to both support and guide people who have them. However, people trained in mental health first aid are not meant to replace mental health professionals. Instead, they are meant to provide the initial support offered to people struggling with their mental health. This could include emergency situations, people in crisis or people dealing with a sudden worsening of their condition.
Our training covers:
- What exactly the field of mental health first aid is
- What people trained in mental health first aid can expect
- What the most common mental illnesses are
