Food for thought: Mental Heath First Response
17 Aug 2024
It is a safe bet to assume you and your team are well prepared to deliver first aid in case of an accident in the workplace. You’ve completed the onboarding training, you know where the first aid kit is.
But what if that accident is a mental health incident? A panic attack at a feedback session or a sudden outburst of surprising agression? Are you ready to handle it? Do you know your legal responsibilities and boundaries you should not cross? I truly believe each company should invest in training of mental health first responders. People who can manage these highly stressful and impactful events with knowledge and skills.
