Provided by Mental Health First Aid Principal Master Instructor, Rosie Barlett, from Mindseye Training
Big Steps Professional Learning is excited to provide United Workers Union members with online access to the Foundations of Mental Health First Aid Training.
Learn about the signs and symptoms of common and disabling mental health problems in adults, how to provide initial help, where and how to get professional help, what sort of help has been shown by research to be effective, and how to provide first aid in a crisis situation.
This is an education course, to learn how to give first aid to others, and is not a therapy or support group.
During this course, you will learn:
Mental Health First Aid Foundations: Self-paced interactive eLearning (5-7 hours).
The eLearning course component presents an overview of mental health problems and mental health crises. This is not a formal Mental Health First Aid qualification. A practical component must be completed afterwards to obtain a formal Mental Health certification.
