Awareness of First Aid for Mental Health
This Awarness of First Aid for Mental Health awareness course is suitable for everyone as it provides learners with the knowledge to recognise a suspected mental health condition and the skills to start a conversation and be able to signpost a person towards professional help.

A range of First Aid for Mental Health related subjects are covered including:
- What is First Aid for Mental Health
- Identifying mental health conditions
- Providing advice and starting a conversation
- Stress
- Mental health conditions

Numbers: max 16 students

Assessment:The qualification is assessed by a written assessment including open and multiple-choice questions.
