⚠️ Risk Assessments ⚠️ When thinking about arranging mental health first aid training within your organisation, risk assessments should be a top priority. As advocates often become the first point of contact for colleagues experiencing mental health challenges and crises, conducting a thorough risk assessment ensures that those taking on this role are equipped to handle potentially sensitive and complex situations safely, without putting their own mental health at risk. At IAMH, we can coordinate this essential process for you. From risk assessments and job descriptions, to global cohort scheduling and management, we’re here to support you and your employees.
