Level 2 First Aid for Mental Health Course
2024-10-04 09:30 - 16:30 | Harehills Lane Baptist Church, 13 Hilton Place, Leeds, LS8 4HE
Here at LIP, we are committed to amplifying the voices of people from marginalised and / or racialised groups to ensure we are moving towards a more equitable society for all, working against
the health and other inequalities in society. By giving people the skills to recognise when their neighbours, family members and others need some help at an early stage, we can avoid more
serious complications.
Providing effective mental health training tailored to the needs of these groups is essential to bridge the gap and ensure equitable care.
This course will give you a certificate that is Ofqual-approved as well as the skills and knowledge to start to help those around you. LIP is hoping that, following the training, we can work with you to develop a Cultural Mental Health network within the city.
The course will cover:

What is First Aid for Mental Health?
Identifying mental health conditions
Providing advice and starting a conversation
Stress
Mental health conditions
Drugs and alcohol
First Aid for Mental Health action plan
First Aid for Mental Health in the workplace
