Ali Vondy, from Manx Minds, recently delivered Mental Health First Aid training for some of our Year 12 students. This training has been kindly sponsored by Tower Insurance for which we are all very grateful.
This official MHFA England half day course is an introductory four hour session which raises awareness of mental health.
It is designed to give:
· An understanding of what mental health is and how to challenge stigma
· A basic knowledge of some common mental health issues
· An introduction to looking after your own mental health and maintaining wellbeing
· Confidence to support someone in distress or who may be experiencing a mental health issue
Students who have completed this training are looking forward to opening the Wellbeing room over lunchtimes as a drop in venue for their peers and sharing their understanding of how to look after your mental health.
