Mental Health First Aid

County Hall Northallerton, Racecourse Lane

Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is a training course which teaches people how to identify, understand and help someone who may be experiencing a mental health issue. MHFA won’t teach you to be a therapist, but it will teach you to listen, reassure and respond, even in a crisis – and even potentially stop a crisis from happening. You’ll learn to recognise warning signs of mental ill health and develop the skills and confidence to approach and support someone while keeping yourself safe. You’ll also learn how to empower someone to access the support they might need for recovery or successful management of symptoms. This could include self-help books or websites, accessing therapy services through their GP, their school or place of work, online self-referral, support groups, and more.   Places will be funded for those living, working or volunteering in North Yorkshire. Refreshments will be available during the session. To secure a place on this training course please contact training provider Katie Marlow direct, cast.learningsolutions.gmail.com.
