In 2024, the Health & Safety Executive introduced the inclusion of mental health considerations within first aid needs assessments. As a first aider, you may also be required to support someone with mental ill health, and it is important that you are able to take appropriate action to help promptly, safely and effectively.
This course will enhance a learner’s knowledge of mental health/ill-health through trainer led discussion, activities and case studies. We will explore common mental illnesses, the importance of empathy when communicating, the stigma and effect it has on mental health and the benefits of a positive mental health culture in the workplace.
