Mental Health First Aid…
Are we doing the same thing??
Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) has been one of the fastest growing practices in the workplace in the past couple of years. With the recent Mental Health Awareness week just past, it was evident that it is being used as a key tool by employers.
MHFA is a fantastic & vital control measure for companies, but it does what it suggests... IT IS REACTIVE. It teaches participants how to notice and support an individual who may be experiencing a mental health concern and provide help.
The key for companies committed to health & wellbeing is to identify psychosocial hazards within the workplace & manage these risks effectively through robust procedures.
