This course is ideal for anyone who leads a team, or any member of the public with an interest in
supporting others who are displaying mental health issues. Attendees will be given the necessary
skills and knowledge to assist people who are experiencing stress or distress due to mental health
conditions.
While there is presently no legal requirement for this training in Ireland, we can only
encourage employers to have as many MHFA and employees aware of mental health issues
in the workplace as possible so they can take the appropriate steps to help the individual in
need.
However, we would advise you to speak to your employees before they attend for training.
Do they have an interest in supporting others with any mental health issues, are they
comfortable with attending this course and do they have the time in their current role to
support others?
