ActNow: mental health crisis response

Designed for people and culture, health and safety and trained mental health first aid responders, this critical training deals with managing mental health crises at work and extreme emotional responses. Providing mental health first aid to another colleague can put team members in a very uncomfortable situation, especially if they have not had adequate training. Developing a few practical skills to help people in distress can make all the difference. This half-day workshop includes a crisis role-play in which participants practise out an easy-to-recall framework for responding to crisis situations with the emphasis on minimising risk for all involved, including the organisation. Includes the option of 15-minute pre-learning module.
