Increasing Mental Health Awareness
Over the last few years, society has made significant strides in understanding and openly talking about mental health issues.
We have started to remove the stigma surrounding mental health which has led to more open and honest dialogue about our mental well-being.
This increased awareness has also highlighted the need for more trained people who can offer immediate, effective support to those in crisis.
MoreCPD’s Mental Health First Aid Training course with MHFA England is an evidence based training program that will empower participants to be effective first responders in mental health crisis situations.
Who Is The Course For?
This course can be attended by anyone, as no prior knowledge of mental health is needed.
Mental health challenges can affect anyone, regardless of age, background or status.
Undiagnosed or untreated mental health issues can have a massive impact on individuals’ personal and professional lives, as well as the lives of people around them.
Therefore the Mental Health First Aid course with MHFA England is for anybody who wants to gain insight into the various mental health conditions and how to recognise the signs and symptoms early on. This knowledge will allow them to provide timely intervention and aid in a mental health crisis.
Families, friends and colleagues can all be affected when an individual is struggling with their mental health. A Mental Health First Aid training course allows people to recognise the crucial warning signs of poor mental health and provide early intervention to guide someone to appropriate support.
Reducing Stigma
Although people are generally getting better at talking about mental health, there is still a stigma surrounding it. Stiff upper lip, boys don’t cry and keeping your chin up are still part of the lexicon and create a barrier to people seeking help for their mental health issues.
MoreCPD provides Mental Health First Aid training courses that promote empathy and understanding. Participants will learn to approach mental health issues in the correct way, reducing stigma and becoming advocates for mental health awareness.
Learn Practical Skills
The Mental Health First Aid training course provides practical skills for crisis intervention, covering how to offer initial assistance, listen without judgement, and guide people to where they can receive professional help. The course covers many mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, eating disorders and psychosis and ensures mental health first aiders have the knowledge to handle various situations.
The skills learnt on this course can be applied to a variety of situations including; the workplace, family & friends, the local community, as well as your own mental wellbeing.
