Mental Health First Aid

Bridges Health Presents:

Mental Health First Aid in the Workplace!

Mental Health First Aid is the assistance provided to a person developing or experiencing a mental health crisis. Just as physical first aid is administered to an injured person before medical treatment can be obtained, MHFA is given until appropriate treatment is found or the crisis is resolved.

What you will Learn:
– How to recognize the signs and symptoms of mental health problems
– Crisis and first aid skills for substance overdose, suicidal behavior, panic attacks, acute stress
reactions and psychotic episodes
– Overcoming stigma and discrimination

 

“Colleagues and managers are best placed to be the first to recognize the signs and symptoms of mental health issues in their co-workers, provided they are properly trained in MHFA”
