Mental health is an integral element of our overall health and it should be accepted and acknowledged so that we can learn how to prevent, manage and treat it pretty much in the same way we do with physical health. As per our recent news, HSE have now included it in their guidance for First Aid needs assessments. Read our latest Training Focus on Mental Health First Aid Courses here https://bit.ly/4bAFUVB

There's a significant difference between attending a professional course and sitting an exam, versus just attending and absorbing content for two days. If you’re going to send your employees on a mental wellbeing course, with the expectation that they’ll then be able to support other colleagues, then It's crucial to equip them with the necessary skills and qualifications. Remember that part of ensuring your employees' health, safety & wellbeing also involves carefully selecting the right training course and training provider. #EmployeeTraining #SkillDevelopment #WellnessAtWork

Such an important skill and great to have these resources available.

Last Friday, I dedicated my volunteer day off to participate in a Mental Health First Aid certification course offered by [Mental Health First Aid](https://lnkd.in/eNZcGjDu). This invaluable training is accessible to everyone at no cost, and I strongly believe that it should be a priority for everyone to undertake. The Mental Health First Aid course equips participants with the skills to assist individuals who may be developing mental health issues or are in the midst of a crisis. It provides essential knowledge on how to recognize, comprehend, and effectively respond to indications of substance abuse, mental health crises and mental health challenges. By investing a few hours in this training, you can empower yourself to make a significant difference in the lives of others. Mental health challenges are increasingly prevalent, and being equipped with the right skills can mean the difference between someone feeling isolated and finding the support they need. I encourage everyone to consider enrolling in this course—it’s a small commitment that can lead to profound impacts in our communities. Together, we can foster an environment of understanding and support for those facing mental health challenges. #breakthestigma #mentalhealthmatters #inlovingmemoryofmybrother #lifeatvanguard #makeadifference #communityoutreach #passiton
