Using funding provided by Government, Croydon Council is able to continue its Mental Health First Aid Training.
Last September I had the opportunity to participate in one of the courses. Given COVID restrictions, it was conducted via MS Teams, home study and online modules. It worked really well and it was beneficial to take the course with 9 other people from a range of backgrounds and experiences. As a Mental Health First Aider I am able to offer assistance to someone experiencing mental health issues or emotional distress by offering initial support through listening in a non-judgemental way and helping that person to access appropriate professional help or self-help strategies. It has really helped me to provide a service to residents in responding to mental health based casework.
