Why First Aid for Mental Health? In the UK over half a million workers suffer from mental-health related conditions (this equates to more than one in seven employees), and circa 12.5 million working days were lost in 2016/17 as a result. In fact, some 12.7% of all sickness absence days can be attributed to mental health conditions. Providing better mental health support in the workplaces can save UK businesses up to £8 billion per year, as well as improving staff morale and helping to reduce the risk of tragedy (i.e. suicide). Our courses Edenfield’s First Aid for Mental Health training will cover a range of topics including identifying mental health conditions (including stress, anxiety,
psychosis, eating disorders and selfharm), providing advice and starting a conversation, mental health first aid in the workplace and developing a mental health action plan. Our courses are Ofqual regulated and nationally recognised, and are delivered by qualified, experienced and friendly instructors.
