First Aid for Mental Health
I had the pleasure of delivering a 2-day First Aid for Mental Health course for (and funded by) The Lift Industry Mental Health Charter, hosted by Midland Lift Services LTD. In this time, we covered:
What first aid for mental health is
Identifying mental health conditions
Providing advice and starting a conversation
Stress
Mental health conditions
Depression
Anxiety
Psychosis
Eating disorders
Suicide
Self-harm
Drugs and alcohol
First Aid for Mental Health action plan
First Aid for Mental Health in the workplace
I had the absolute privilege of being with a group of open, compassionate, and engaged individuals. We covered tough topics, had honest conversations, and created a safe space where we all felt seen, heard, and valued.
Mental health isn’t just a workplace policy or a trending topic—it’s about people. It’s about knowing how to check in, how to listen without judgment, and how to offer the right support at the right time.
A massive thank you to all those who attended - thank you for your honesty, your openness, and your commitment to looking out for others. Thank you for looking after me too. The world needs more people like you. ❤️
