Mental Health First Aid

Mental Health First Aid is about providing staff with the skills to help someone who is developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis. The impact of physical illness and injury is widely understood as a cause of lost productivity and revenue within a business or organisation. However, mental ill-health is responsible for significant disruption, turnover, and lost productivity.

The Mental Health First Aider in the workplace is the organisational champion for other employees who may be experiencing some form of mental health crisis. The first aider can help guide the person in distress to the relevant help that they need.
