NEW……Mental Health Training Programme:
Providing the right training and building the capacity of the workforce to promote mental health and well-being and prevent mental illness is essential. This newly developed, bespoke two-day course has been designed to ensure that organisations have suitably trained staff in the workplace to support colleagues who may be for a variety of reasons struggling to cope and subsequently becoming stressed or suffering from a mental health problem. Latest figures from the H.S.E. in 2024 state that stress and mental health issues are now the single greatest cause of workplace absenteeism. Indeed, in February 2024 the HSE published revised guidance on First Aid at Work and now requires employers to assess the need for making provision to meet mental health needs.
This course centres on educating mental health first aiders with the knowledge and skills to meet that need. As the course title states it is First Aid for mental health, no more and no less. All the content will be “evidence-based” from a variety of sources referenced during the programme and in the materials provided to the participants.
I have attached some statistics and the course programme for you to review – I hope you find this of interest.
