Having a conversation may save a life - would you know what to say? Reach out to discuss how you and your staff can be trained in early intervention before the impacts hit your teams and start to affect a workplace.
Today, we launch our #WouldYouKnowWhatToSay campaign, which aims to raise awareness of the potentially life-saving power of mental health first aid skills and conversations. At the centre of the campaign is a celebration of our Mental Health First Aiders, and the skills that they bring to their workplaces, schools or communities. Through their stories of connection and conversation, we hear about the impact their role as an MHFAider has had both on them, and the lives of those around them. More than 1.3 million Australians have been trained in Mental Health First Aid — and we’re only just getting started. We know that having a conversation may save a life, and it is our goal to see millions more equipped with the crucial skills to know how. To help us keep the conversation going, our national network of Mental Health First Aiders and MHFA Instructors are sharing stories of what Mental Health First Aid means to them. Check out these hashtags to read their messages: #WouldYouKnowWhatToSay, #IAmAMentalHealthFirstAider, #IAmAnMHFAInstructor. Explore our campaign page, help us spread the word, and together we can create a world where everyone has the skills to support people experiencing mental health problems. https://lnkd.in/dceWVvC7
