Whether you’re looking to strengthen your foundational skills or deepen your mental health literacy, these sessions equip you with the knowledge and confidence to respond effectively to workplace mental health challenges.

This Session’s Theme: Non-Crisis Intervention

Topic: Non-Crisis Intervention – Strengthening Early Intervention Skills with Real-World Practise

Knowledge transforms into impact when applied. This Non-Crisis Intervention session uses an actionable plan to equip MHFAiders with early intervention skills through real-life scenarios. Participants will develop practical strategies for recognising early signs, starting meaningful conversations, and offering proactive support before issues escalate.

Session Highlights:

• Spotting Early Indicators: Practise identifying subtle shifts in behaviour or mood that signal the need for support. Through case-based scenarios, gain hands-on experience in early detection.
• Starting the Conversation: Build confidence in opening compassionate dialogues that break stigma and establish a supportive environment.
• Active Support Techniques: Practise guiding individuals towards practical solutions that respect autonomy while providing structured support.
• Self-Care and Boundaries: Equip yourself with self-care tools and techniques to manage emotional reserves, knowing when to step back or seek further support.
