Tuesday 11th June 2019 - Mental Health First Aid

Posted 12:00pm

Working in this field will mean we will come across a great diversity of characters, all at different stages of possible physical and mental health problems. It is important we have the right tools to deal with this.

Haringey Well-Being run courses, which are free for people delivering intervention, and they have invited us to attend one of these - which is really kind of them.

Over the two days, the Mental Health First Aid course will teach us to:
· Spot the early signs of a mental health problem
· Feel confident helping someone experiencing a problem
· Provide help on a first aid basis
· Help prevent someone from hurting themselves or others
· Help stop a mental illness from getting worse
· Help someone recover faster
· Guide someone towards the right support
· Reduce the stigma of mental health problems

It is towards the end of August - and we have signed up. Oh, I hope we get this lottery money. We are so ready to work with people!!!
