Staff attend Mental Health First Aider Training Course

Mental Health First Aider

Auctus Management Group, RSS Infrastructure, and INFRA Skills have taken proactive steps to address the mental well-being of their employees. Recognizing the need for additional support mechanisms, these organizations have enrolled a number of staff members in a specialized Mental Health First Aider training course. Developed by Psychologist Bernie Graham, this comprehensive program aims to create a safe and comfortable environment for individuals seeking guidance and assistance for mental health issues.

Enhancing Support Mechanisms for Mental Health

In England, a staggering 17% of adults report symptoms of common mental health issues. To meet this growing demand for support, the Mental Health First Aider Training Course offers participants a thorough understanding of mental ill-health, including its onset, nature, and treatment. Moreover, attendees gain valuable insights into various support options, therapies, and self-help techniques. Equipped with these skills, participants are better prepared to provide initial aid to individuals in mental distress before professional help can be sought.

Valuing Mental Health in Safety-Critical Environments

Given the safety-critical nature of their work, Auctus Management Group recognizes the vital importance of mental health and well-being. By empowering their employees with knowledge and confidence, the organization ensures immediate assistance is available to those suffering from mental illnesses. This Mental Health First Aid training course marks the initial step toward establishing Well Being Champions within the company. These champions will convene regularly as part of the Well Being Council to plan and discuss relevant initiatives. They will also serve as advocates, spreading the message of well-being throughout the organization and addressing any emerging concerns.

Supporting Nationwide Mental Health Efforts

Mental health difficulties encompass a broad spectrum, ranging from minor concerns to long-term illnesses. Support networks like AMG’s ‘Well Being Champions’ contribute to the nationwide effort to assist individuals facing mental health challenges. For further guidance on mental health issues, helplines such as Samaritans, Rethink Mental Illness, and MIND are available to provide assistance.

Conclusion

Auctus Management Group, RSS Infrastructure, and INFRA Skills have invested in the well-being of their employees by enrolling them in a comprehensive Mental Health First Aider training course. This initiative emphasizes the significance of mental health and equips participants with essential skills to provide immediate support. By establishing Well Being Champions and promoting a safe environment, these organizations are actively contributing to the overall mental well-being of their workforce.
