People in difficulty or distress often find it challenging to open up because of the stigma associated with mental health issues or fear of being treated differently. A trained Mental Health First Champion can break down those initial barriers, have genuine, non-judgemental conversations, provide relief and appropriate support, and signpost pathways to pursue further help.
During this course, your team will build knowledge and awareness of mental health, learn to recognise the signs and symptoms of common mental health issues, and understand how stigma can be a barrier to open conversations in the workplace.
The Mental Health Champion course is ideal for those who want to learn about mental health and how to support others with mental health issues.
