Mental health first aid
In collaboration with the Anti-suicide League, the ASTF is now offering a training for the care of people in mental distress. This twelve hours’ training is mainly designed for HR teams representatives as well as any other stakeholder who might be confronted to the handling of a psychological suffering situation (managers, designated workers, staff delegates).
Training content
This training covers:
- the definition of psychological distress;
- its different pathologies: burn out, depression, suicidal ideas, suicide attempts and suicides, neuroses, anxiety disorders, panic attacks, eating disorders, psychoses (manic-depression, schizophrenia etc), addictions;
- the work-place approach;
- an action plan tailored to each situation;
- active listening;
- emotional management (both for the person in distress and the facilitator);
- the offer of professional help;
- the access to support within the company, as well as in the family context.
It is neither a diagnostic nor a therapeutic tool, but a pragmatic resource to help deal with the above-listed situations and to best lead the person towards professional assistance as soon as possible.
