Mental health in the workplace is an increasingly important issue for trade unions. There is much stigma and discrimination around mental health and particularly mental ill health. These are issues of justice, equality and fairness – core trade union business.
Our two-day course qualifies you as a Mental Health First Aider.
Mental Health First Aiders have:
* An in depth understanding of mental health and the factors that can affect well-being
* Practical skills to spot the triggers and signs of mental health issues
* Confidence to step in, reassure and support a person in distress
* Enhanced interpersonal skills such as non-judgemental listening
* Knowledge to help someone recover their health by guiding them to further support – whether that’s self-help resources, through their employer, the NHS or a mix
These workshops will be taking place on the 9th & 10th May in Milton Keynes and Newport, they are open to all URTU Members.
