About the event
Did you know that one person in four will experience some form of mental health condition in the course of a year?
This eMHFA Wales training course, offered by CULT Cymru, aims to improve mental health awareness and help people in the creative sectors to recognise the signs and symptoms of someone with mental health conditions.
Participants will learn how to:
- give initial help to someone experiencing a mental health problem
- deal with a crisis situation or the first signs of someone developing mental ill health
- guide people towards appropriate support
Participants who complete the course will receive a certificate of attendance from Mental Health First Aid Wales.
The course can be completed from the convenience of your home or office at your own pace through interactive online modules and webinars. Please be aware that this course can be triggering for some people at times.
