Mental Health First Aid Awareness
Course Aim
This course is designed to help you be aware of those around you and to help you to recognise when they may need a little more understanding or need signposting to areas of support. Mental health first aid is important, not just to support those who are in crisis, but also those who are showing signs of heading that way. Having people around us who can spot these changes can make all the difference to our mental wellbeing.
