Mental Health First Aid...
​
Our aim is to deliver the courses with an openness that creates a safe environment to de-stigmatise, humanise and simplify our perceptions of mental health. To develop our understanding and strength, enabling us to be ready when we approach or are approached by someone in a crisis. To ask, 'how are you?' and be patient, allow thought and build trust, then provide the information to start their journey of recovery.
​
​
We promise to challenge you on the courses, to be inclusive and to ensure the courses are appropriately fun.
