Course: Mental Health First Aid for Therapists

Details: Essential Training
Evidence-based course
12 hrs over two days CPD points

How well equipped are you as a therapist to deal with any of the following scenarios when working:
 In treating a client you notice scars on her arms that weren’t mentioned in consultation
 A client suffers a panic attack in your treatment room
 During a consultation a client discloses he has been
having suicidal thoughts
 A client mentions concerns about hearing unusual voices

The course will teach you to recognise the first signs of someone developing mental ill health, give initial help to someone experiencing a mental health problem and promote and support the recovery of good mental health and wellbeing. You would then be able to take safe and appropriate action for the scenarios listed above.

As well as developing you as a therapist and as an individual, this course will help you to run a safer and more professional practice, providing a more complete and better informed service to your clients. The course is eligible for CPD and a certificate will be awarded on completion of the course which certifies you as a Mental Health First Aider. Currently, there is no exam to sit.
