First Aid for Mental Health

Who is this for?

Learners will learn about the first aid action plan for mental health, be able to put the plan in place, and understand how to implement a positive mental health culture in the workplace.

Learners will not diagnose or treat mental health conditions as this can only be carried out by healthcare professionals, but will be able to identify when a person may have a suspected mental health condition, offer reassurance and support, and know where they can go to get help.

What will be covered?

A range of subjects are covered, including:

  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Psychosis
  • Eating disorders
  • Suicide
  • Self-harm
  • Effects of alcohol and drug abuse
  • Consequences of substance abuse
  • Application of the first aid action plan for mental health
