    Course Includes

    Learners will achieve a Level 2 qualification (Level 5 Scotland) in First Aid for Mental Health, subject to passing the course assessment criteria.

    This 1-day course covers the content of the level 1 ½ day course but also expands on the effects of drugs and alcohol, incorporates the First Aid for Mental Health Action Plan and covers ways in which a positive mental health culture can be supported within the workplace.

    Should you attend?

    Each year, approximately 1 in 4 people in the UK experience a mental health condition, and at least 1 in 6 employees experience common mental health problems in the workplace. Mental health conditions are often hidden due to stigma and fear of discrimination. The Health and Safety Executive’s (HSE’s) guidance refers to mental health in the workplace.

    This course is ideal as a natural progression for those learners who have attended the ½ day mental health awareness course. It is also suitable for mental health first aiders or mental health workplace champions. It is also ideal for anyone who wishes to learn more about mental health issues to support family members and friends.

    Objectives

    The course covers:

    • What is the first aid for mental health
    • Identifying mental health conditions
    • Providing advice and starting a conversation
    • Stress
    • Mental health conditions
    • Drugs and alcohol
    • First Aid for Mental Health Action Plan
    • First Aid for Mental Health in the workplace.

    This, in turn, should improve the workplace health and safety culture and result in fewer lost hours due to absence.

    Duration

    This is delivered in 1-day in the classroom environment.

    Alternatively, the course can now be delivered remotely via Microsoft Teams or a software platform of your choice.

    Exam format

    Ongoing assessment by the tutor including practical and oral questioning.

    The qualification is valid for three years subject to successful assessment. It is strongly recommended that the learner attends annual refresher training.
