First Aid for Life and Maudsley Learning [https://maudsleylearning.com/] are delighted to have worked in collaboration to bring this enhanced Mental Health First Aid course to you. The Maudsley [https://www.slam.nhs.uk/our-services/hospital-care/maudsley-hospital/] is the largest mental health training institution in the UK and their expertise in this area is second to none. This course is continually updated by experts in Mental Health and offers clear, practical advice to help you gain a better understanding of how to help yourself, or others to achieve optimum mental health. This mental health first aid training course will teach you how to recognise warning signs of mental ill health and help you develop the skills and confidence to approach and support someone, whilst keeping yourself safe. We help you develop resilience, learn new ways to cope with stress, advise on sleeping better and equip you with a wealth of resources to be able to confidently help someone struggling with their mental health. This online course will provide you with the knowledge to spot specific warning signs that an adult or child could be struggling with a mental health condition, it explains how to initiate a supportive conversation, explore healthier lifestyle choices and links to the wealth of additional support available if someone needs further help. Ideal for individuals needing additional help and guidance to support their mental well-being, for those looking to introduce positive mental health practices to their workplaces, for teachers and support staff and friends, family and colleagues wanting more information on this vital topic It is estimated that around 1 in 4 people in the UK will experience a mental health condition at some point in their lives. For many, work is a major source of stress. 1 in 6 employees experience common mental health problems in the workplace. Businesses can support people with their mental health and create more positive and productive working environments as a result. Unfortunately, despite recent campaigns and advances, there still remains a level of stigma and fear of discrimination around mental health conditions. Employees  and school children may feel that mental health conditions will not be greeted with the same compassionate approach as physical illness. This should not be the case and the purpose of this course is to demystify mental health conditions and empower workplaces, friends and family members to provide the support and signposting desperately needed by those struggling with their mental well-being. The HSE have embraced the idea of mental health in the workplace and issued the following guidance ‘First aid needs assessment’ [http://www.hse.gov.uk/firstaid/needs-assessment.htm] for businesses. They suggest that your first aid needs assessment should also consider whether it is beneficial to have personnel trained to identify and understand symptoms and able to support someone who might be experiencing a mental health issue. The scope of this mental health first aid course is not to learn to diagnose or treat mental health conditions as this should only be done by appropriately trained healthcare professionals. However, you will be guided in identifying signs someone might be struggling and we will equip you with a methodology to appropriately support them and a directory of people where you can signpost them for help. It is impossible to cover all eventualities within this course, or to equip you with the knowledge and skills to appropriately diagnose and treat in unpredictable real life situations. If you suspect serious illness or injury, you should always seek immediate professional medical advice. The Author has made every effort to ensure the accuracy of the information contained within the course, however this course is merely a guide and the Author does not accept any liability or responsibility for any inaccuracies or for any mistreatment or misdiagnosis of any person, however caused.

This full-day, in-person event will equip you with the knowledge and skills to support individuals experiencing mental health challenges. Why train and become a Mental Health First Aider? * The UK is at risk of becoming a ‘burnt-out nation', mental health charity warns and calls for action. This means that early intervention and support by the UK Government is needed to intervene and better support the workforce. * A major challenge being high levels of work absence due to poor mental health still remains problematic. * A recent survey revealed in the past year, more than a third of adults faced extreme pressure in the workplace. Futhermore, complicated by the fact that the nation is within the transition period of recovery from the pandemic, long term covid, high churn in redundancies, lack of job security, financial econmic crisis impacting on cost of living for all. * YouGov poll of 2,060 adults- 1,132 whom are workers - 35% stated they had experienced high/extreme levels of pressure at work, this meant 20% requiring time off due to poor mental health caused by work related stress/stressors in the past year. * Although public attitudes, understanding and views towards mental health and work have changed in response to the pandemic, hence still alot more to be done. Together we can do more and make an impactful difference, both towards our own mental health and the Public Mental Health and Wellbeing of others.
