Solutions Training & Advisory have developed a unique mental health first aid programme…………..

The H.S.E. recently stated that employers have a responsibility to consider the mental health and well-being of staff as part of their risk assessments.

The goal is for your first aider/s to be able to identify the risks of stress and act on them to improve conditions at work.

Solutions' all-new two-day course has been designed to equip organisations with a trained and competent mental health first aider(s) within the workplace.

Our course is unique due to the training only ever being delivered by former senior paramedic managers. These trainers have managed mental health issues within varied environments, including, supporting the huge number of patients they assisted within their working roles as well as supporting their internal staff. The course content will not be “Death by PowerPoint”, it is designed to be interactive and includes many practical training elements, including, attendees assessing crisis situations with a trained actor playing the part of the troubled employee.

All the content will be “evidence-based” from a variety of sources referenced during the programme and within the materials provided to participants during the training. The delivery is centered on equipping mental health first aiders with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to effectively acknowledge and manage signs of mental health appropriately.

As the course title states it is First Aid for mental health, no more and no less!
