Mental First Aid

Presented By MFTG Group. 

Mental Health involves our emotional, psychological and social well-being and it affects how we think, feel and act. It can determine how we handle stress, relate to others and how we make certain choices. There is still a lack of awareness and consideration surrounding mental health issues.

Aims and Objectives: On completion of the course the candidate will be able to deal with:

  • Give initial support and comfort to someone experiencing a mental health problem

  • Provide help to prevent a mental health problem develop into a more serious state

  • Deal with a crisis

  • Guide that person towards the appropriate help

  • Raise awareness about mental health in the workplace

  • Action at an emergency

Gain a deeper knowledge of:

  • What is meant by mental health?

  • The signs and symptoms of common mental health problems, including depression, anxiety disorders and psychosis
