First Aid for Mental Health with Mental Health Scotland
January 20 - February 13
Members of the community can obtain a First Aid for Mental Health qualification at SCQF Level 5 led by Mental Health Scotland. This online course will give you the knowledge to recognise potential early signs of poor mental health, learn about mental health conditions, and give you the skills to start a conversation with someone who may be struggling.
This is a great opportunity to help foster a compassionate workplace culture and support your peers, as well as, for PGRs, increase your employability and contribute to your PG Cert!
Over 3 weeks, you will need to set aside just 6 hrs for self study and attend two 1.5-hr live sessions on Tuesday 27 January and Tuesday 3 February from 1.00 pm to solidify your learning. There will then be an individual 30-40 min assessment week beginning Monday 9 February.
Upon completion the qualification is valid for three years and you will be provided with additional resources which are accessible indefinitely to support you.
