Adult Mental Health First Aid Weekend

About the class

Become a certified Mental Health First Aider.

Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is a training course which teaches old_people how to identify, understand and help someone who may be experiencing a mental health issue.

Learning will take place at the studio, across four manageable sessions, over 2 days, through a mix of presentations, group discussions and workshop activities.

Each session is built around a Mental Health First Aid action plan.

The sessions include;

Session 1 - Mental Health First Aid, About Mental Health & Depression

Session 2 - Suicide & Substance misuse

Session 3 - Anxiety disorders, Self-harm, Eating disorders & Personality disorders

Session 4 - Psychosis & Building a mentally healthy community

Numbers are limited to 16 old_people per course so that we can keep old_people safe and supported while they learn.

Everyone who completes the course receives:

- A certificate of attendance to say you are a Mental Health First Aider.

- A Mental Health First Aid manual to refer to whenever you need it.

- A workbook including some helpful tools to support your own mental health.

About Sara :

As an MHFA instructor, teacher of both yoga and special education, one of my gifts is an adaptable and insightful approach to those who join me.

My interest in Mental Health started when I was growing up and first hand experiences led to me trying to understand old_people more fully.

Mental Health First Aid is excellent education to support our understanding of Mental Health.

I have been a special education teacher for the past 19 years and practiced yoga for the past 17 years, developing understanding through the exploration of the practice and its ability to change our physical and energetic state.

Due to the nature of the Crescent Bakery building, it's ideal to wear layers of clothing for cooler / warmer fluctuations.
