Mental Health First Aid Awareness
Learn how to support your team’s wellbeing!
Learning how to recognise and respond to the signs and symptoms of a range of mental health conditions is one of the greatest skills you can have for your teams whether you are a leader or a designated MHFA.
Mental health awareness does not teach you to diagnose or treat conditions or provide counselling, but you will discover how to react in a crisis and look after the individual until they can access professional help.
