Hiya. How are you?  Are you okay?  How ya feelin mate?  

​

But really, being true to yourself, which emoji do you most identify with?

​

We all have Mental Health and sometimes its good and sometimes it's not so good. Just like our physical health.   As a First Aider for Mental Health you will learn some basic skills in seeing something is not quite normal (whatever normal is ) and know where to sign post people so they can get further help to get them back to their usual self.  These courses are run under the NUCO system and there are 3 courses within First Aid for Mental Health

​

4 Hour:  First Aid for Mental Health Awareness - FAA Level 1 Award - 4 hours

1   Day:    First Aid for Mental Health - FAA Level 2 Award - 1 day

2  Day:  First Aid for Mental Health Supervising - FAA Level 3 Award - 2 day

​

Level 1 :

Provides learners with the knowledge to identify suspected mental health conditions, the skills to start a non judgemental conversation with a view to signpost the person toward professional help and continued support whilst receiving that help.

​

Level 2:  Provides learners with the same skills learnt on the 4 hour course  but also expands on the effects of drugs and alcohol, incorporates the First Aid for Mental Health Action Plan and covers ways in which a positive mental health culture can be supported within a workplace.

​

Level 3: This 2-Day course goes into detail on a wide range of mental health conditions and the support and help provided by healthcare professionals. It covers the content of both the Level 1 and Level 2 qualifications but is aimed at Trainer/Assessors and/or supervisor level within the workplace.

​

These courses are run by our trainers who have successfully attended a NUCO trainers course and therefore certificates are issued by NUCO.
