Mental Health First Aid Training Benefits

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.

On a broader front, your work group, interacts with a large number of people in a variety of places on a daily basis. Therefore, there is a high chance they will come into contact with people having a mental health crisis, and once trained, will have the tools to defuse, support or intervene until appropriate support can arrive, if required.
