Mental Health First Aid - Two Day Course

STARS are proud to offer this two day course delivered by NEAS, to professionals working with Adults in the South Tyneside Borough.

Mental health first aid teaches you how to identify, understand and help a person who may be developing a mental health issue. In the same way as we learn physical first aid, mental health first aid teaches you how to recognise those crucial warning signs of mental ill health.

The course will support you to:

• Learn about mental health and how to identify, understand and help someone who may be experiencing a mental health issue
• Help your workplace managers to develop their skills and knowledge to have effective mental health conversations with their teams
• This course will teach you practical skills to spot the triggers and signs of mental health issues.Gain confidence to step in, reassure and support a person in distress.

On completion you will be a certified Mental Health First Aider.

Info: Delegates on this course learn the practical skills required to spot the triggers and signs of mental health issues. It is suitable for those who want to gain the necessary skills to have a non-judgmental conversation, recognise the signs and symptoms of common workplace mental health issues and effectively guide a person towards the right support - whether that’s self-help resources, through their employer, the NHS, or a mix. This is achieved through a mix of group activities, presentations and discussions, each session is built around a Mental Health First Aid action plan. Everyone who completes the course gets an MHFA manual to keep and refer to whenever they need it, and a certificate to say they are a Mental Health First Aider.
