While the importance of traditional first aid is widely known and understood, it is becoming increasingly clear to employers that safeguarding their teams’ mental wellbeing is just as vital.
This is known as mental health first aid. As Mental Health Awareness Day is approaching, we have put together a guide on supporting mental health first aid in the workplace.
World Mental Health Day is observed on October 10th within Mental Health Awareness Month. The aim is to promote mental health advocacy and to educate the public on relevant issues.
We are delighted to have launched the TQUK Level 2 Award in Emergency Response for Mental Health in the Workplace (RQF) here at Imperative Training. We understand that mental ill health is common and that the need for Mental Health First Aid is just as important as the need for Physical First Aid, especially in the workplace.
Mental health is a topic of conversation that is being brought up in most workplaces across the UK, thanks to the introduction of mental health first aid. With Mental Health Awareness Week approaching this month, we’re exploring why business leaders should think about making mental health a priority in the workplace.
