BECOME A FIRST AIDER FOR MENTAL HEALTH
A positive mental health culture in the workplace starts here.
Learning to support others is a life skill we all need.
Life can become overwhelming and mental health can suffer affecting all areas of people's work and home life. Some people have no-where to turn, others are afraid to talk about what is going on, some aren't even aware that they have a problem.
Now more than ever we need to be equipped to support each other in the workplace.
By having First Aiders for Mental Health in your workplace you are providing your people with real support for their mental health.
Trained first aiders for mental health will be more able to start a difficult conversation with someone who you are concerned about and they will be more able to sign-post people to get the help they need.
It is a big responsibility but many people are willing and ready to learn the skills to become a beacon for someone in need.

What people say
“I took the First Aid for Mental Health course last year. It was a joy to learn from Emma who made the information relevant and practical. There was a lot of content but it felt easy and friendly as we discussed each topic. I'd definitely recommend working with Emma.”
Kate Greenslade, Mindfulness Coach
“Emma is a fantastic trainer and makes learning fun and interactive, she is very engaging and encouraging and really knows the subject. I have already recommended Emma to other businesses looking to train Mental Health First Aiders and will continue to do so in the future.”
Kate Morgan, Morgan Parkes Recruitment
“I was lucky enough to get a space on the weekend slot for the Mental Health First Aid Course. I came away feeling that I had learned so much about recognising signs in my colleagues and peers, but also myself. I firmly believe everyone should be Mental Health First Aid Trained in this day and age, and Emma would be the lady to get that qualification! GO GET BOOKED!”
