This certified workshop is particularly aimed at those who actively connect with young people such as parents and grandparents, carers, teachers, youth group leaders and young adults. Learners will gain the knowledge and skills to identify a potential mental health condition, start a conversation and provide support and guidance to professional help.
A range of First Aid for Mental Health related subjects are covered including: What is first aid for youth mental health? Identifying mental health conditions, Stress, Mental health conditions, Drugs and alcohol, First aid action plan for mental health.
Learners will NOT diagnose or treat mental health conditions as this can only be carried out by healthcare professionals, but they will gain the knowledge to identify when a person may have a condition and know where they can go to get help.
A SCQF Level 5 “Award in First Aid for Youth Mental Health” will be issued to learners, subject to successful assessment. The qualification is assessed through a written assessment paper and the practical demonstration of the first aid action plan for mental health (learners must pass both parts of the assessment to gain the award).
.
The workshop will start at 9.30am prompt so please plan to arrive by 9.20am. We will finish promptly by 1.00pm on each day. Participants should attend for the full two half days in order to meet the requirements of the workshop accreditation body. Please bring a notepad and pen with you!
