The Mentally-Healthy Change Group are proud to present a special mental health first aid course for the leaders in our industry.

The recent Mentally Healthy 2020 study identified that 38% of people in the media, marketing and creative industry have been diagnosed with mental illness. Furthermore, 56% were showing signs of depression and 52% signs of anxiety.

The study also highlighted the need for educated and empathetic leaders who lead by example, as a key driver for improving mental health in the workplace.

The Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) for CEOs and Leaders course will give you the knowledge and practical skills to recognise signs of mental ill-health, help colleagues, friends and family members experiencing mental ill-health and to actively reduce stigma around mental health in your workplace.

Having mental health first aid skills means that you can assist someone developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis and make a real difference to your community.

You will learn about:

• Skills in how to recognise the signs and symptoms of mental health problems
• Knowledge of the possible risk factors for these mental health problems
• Awareness of the evidenced based medical, psychological and alternative treatments available
• Skills in how to give appropriate initial help and support someone experiencing a mental health problem
• Skills in how to take appropriate action if a crisis situation arises involving suicidal behaviour, panic attack, stress reaction to trauma, overdose or threatening psychotic behaviour.

The course consists of:

• Approx. 10 hrs of online self-study
• 2 x 2.5hr Zoom training sessions with Chloe Hooper, a qualified MHFA trainer
• Online exam

The Zoom training sessions will take place on:
