Mental Health and Wellbeing Courses
FAIB Approved Mental Health First Aid
Workplace Mental Health and Wellbeing Training
In 2023 the HSE (Health and Safety Executive) identified the need for Mental Ill Health First Aid to be included in the Assessment of First Aid Needs.
The HSE specifically said:
“It will be beneficial to have personnel trained to identify and understand symptoms and able to support someone who might be experiencing a mental health issue.
You should consider ways to manage mental ill health in your workplace which are appropriate for your business, such as providing information or training for managers and employees, employing occupational health professionals, appointing mental health trained first aiders and implementing employee support programmes.”
At Albacare we have in conjunction with the FAIB (First Aid Industry Body) we are now offering Mental Health First Aid training.
