Mental Health First Aid for therapists
2 days – Alison MacColl
Mental health problems are common, especially depression, anxiety and misuse of alcohol and other drugs. 1 in 4 of Scots will suffer from mental ill health every year. For many reasons, including stigma and myths, many people do not know what help is available and how to access appropriate help to aid recovery.
This course will improve participants’ awareness and understanding of mental health; improve mental health literacy and recognise the signs and symptoms of someone with mental health problems; promote recovery of good mental health; respond appropriately during a mental health crisis; engage with, support and signpost people to professional help.
