Certified Mental Health First Aid Instructor, Chris Madden, said,
It's such an important time for mental health, which is why we're now offering the accredited two day Mental Health First Aid course here at Backstage Academy.
Through a blend of instructor-led life sessions and self-learning activities, you're going to be able to develop practical skills to spot the triggers and signs of mental health issues, gain confidence to reassure and support a person in distress and learn how to guide them to further support for recovery.
This is a perfect way for all forward thinking employee-focused businesses and individuals to introduce mental health knowledge and practical skills which will support wellbeing in your workplace and in the wider community. We look forward to joining us as you begin your journey in supporting mental health awareness.
