WHO SHOULD ATTEND

For anyone who wishes to learn more about mental health and raise awareness of it among friends, family, and colleagues, the Award in Awareness of First Aid for Mental Health course is ideal.

Mental health has gotten a lot of attention lately, and for good reason. Despite the fact that it was once, and possibly still is, a taboo subject, there is nothing taboo about it when it comes to family, friends, and work colleagues. The main goal of this course is to teach participants how to identify those who may be impacted by it and how to assist them by deepening their understanding of the subject. CPR isn't the only way to save a life.

Mental Health Ambassador Paddy 'The Baddy' Pimblett once said “There’s a stigma in this world that men can’t talk. Listen, if you’re a man and you’ve got a weight on your shoulders and you think the only way you can solve it is by killing yourself – please speak to someone. Speak to anyone People would rather, I know I’d rather, have their mate cry on their shoulder than go to their funeral. So please, let’s get rid of this stigma and men start talking.”

CERTIFICATION AND ASSESSMENT

We'll use a range of teaching methods to make sure you have the knowledge and comprehension required to spread awareness of mental health, including real-world scenario scenarios, movies, and group activities. This course may be completed online through Zoom or in-person with one of our Mental Health & Wellbeing educators. There will be a multiple-choice test at the end of the course.

After successfully completing the course, each participant will be given a certificate attesting to their attendance at the Award in Awareness of First Aid for Mental Health. The First Aid Awards instantly approve certificates, and they are valid for three years (FAA).
