Who is this for?
Learners will learn about the first aid action plan for mental health, be able to put the plan in place, and understand how to implement a positive mental health culture in the workplace.

A range of subjects are covered, including:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Psychosis
- Eating disorders
- Suicide
- Self-harm
- Effects of alcohol and drug abuse
- Consequences of substance abuse
- Application of the first aid action plan for mental health
