About the Course
Awareness of First Aid for Mental Health: Level 2 is a 100% online training course designed to raise awareness of mental health issues, help the learner to spot symptoms in themselves or others, and outline what steps are to be taken to help those in need and to improve the working environment. This level 2 qualification is targeted to supervisors or team leaders in an organisation who have responsibilities and duty of care over the general health and wellbeing of colleagues. The course outlines how to spot the signs and symptoms of mental ill health, how to provide help on a first aid basis, and when to escalate the level of care or even seek professional help. It also covers how to identify drug or alcohol abuse and what to do about it, and how to improve the working environment so that it is a place of inclusion and openness, rather than a source of fear and stress.
