A group of the HB&O team completed the internationally recognised Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) course, facilitated by our wellbeing partners Illuminate VR Services Ltd.
The course teaches people how to spot the signs and symptoms of mental ill health and provide help on a first aid basis. MHFA doesn’t teach people to become therapists, but just like physical first aid, it teaches people to listen, reassure and respond, even in a crisis.
Collaborating with Illuminate has enabled us to build upon our wellbeing strategy for 2022 and this course was another great way to put our ideas into practice.
