Each year approximately 1 in 4 people in the UK will experience a mental health condition and at least 1 in 6 employees experience common mental health problems in the workplace. Research has shown that work is the biggest cause of stress which can stop people performing at their best. Mental health conditions are often hidden due to stigma and fear of discrimination and research has shown that a culture of fear and silence around mental health is costly to employers. The HSE guidance " First aid needs assessments" refers to mental health in the workplace. This 4-hour qualification provides learners with the knowledge to recognise a range of mental health conditions, how to start a supportive conversation and when and how to signpost a person to seek appropriate professional help. Please note that all mental health first aid courses can be very emotive as all subjects contain sensitive and truthful information and delivered by Paramedics who see this on a regular basis so will be delivered with true examples.  As such all prices quoted include tissues as these maybe needed at some point. Emotional breaks can be taken throughout the day.
