Mental Health First Aid is essential in the workplace, because:
poor mental health is common
stigma creates barriers to support
many people are not well informed
professional help isn’t always available straight away
What do you, as an organisation, do to protect the wellbeing of your staff?
How many sick days has your organisation lost to mental ill health?
How much money has it cost your organisation?
By training and developing Mental Health First Aiders in the workplace, you demonstrate to your staff that you care about their wellbeing, while also protecting your own organisational brand, thus saving money and creating a more harmonious workplace.
