MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID

 30-31 May 2020, North London

Mental health issues are common….

especially depression and those associated with alcohol and substance abuse.
Research shows that 25% of us will experience some form of mental health problem.
The stigma attached to mental ill health leads to prejudice and discrimination which encourage negative attitudes. People are often ashamed to discuss mental health issues for fear of being seen as weak. This may hinder a person from seeking help, thus leading to chronic ill health problems.
The course is designed to help you recognise the problem in others, and provide you with the tools to help them.
Why THIS Course?

The course is thoroughly evidence-based and the training has been rigorously tested.  It was developed by experts, alongside people with lived experience of mental health issues.
