WHO SHOULD ATTEND

The Level 3 Award in Supervising First Aid for Mental Health (RQF) reduces the stigma associated with mental illness and promotes a supportive mental health culture in addition to raising knowledge of mental health and wellness in the workplace. After completing this course, participants will be equipped with the information and tools needed to assist and support their coworkers' and others' mental health and welfare.

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

There will be a variety of teaching techniques, such as case studies, movies, and group exercises, to raise awareness of mental health. You may take this course face-to-face with our Mental Health and Wellbeing educators or online using Zoom. The two-day course will be concluded with a multiple-choice exam.

Each participant will receive a certificate after successfully completing the Level 3 Award in Supervising First Aid for Mental Health training (RQF). Certificates are automatically approved by the First Aid Awards and have a three-year validity period (FAA).
