First Aid for Mental Health (1 Day) – FAA Level 2
First Aid for Mental Health
First Aid for Mental Health in the Workplace
Safewell’s one-day 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.
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. According to recent reports, sick leave due to poor mental health was the primary reason for staff taking time off work in 2021.
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.
Our First Aid for Mental Health training provides learners with the skills and confidence to recognise and respond to a range of mental health conditions, giving an in-depth understanding of conditions and practical tools for managing them.
