Through the ‘First Aid Mental Health’ training, managers are taught techniques to recognise and support employees with mental health issues or to reintegrate them after a long absence.

What can you expect?

The training session consists of an exploratory online introductory session, short presentations, role plays and simulations. Participants can expand and refine their insights and skills regarding:

  • the mental health issues that employees may face, such as serious personal problems, anxiety, depression, panic attacks, stress, burn-out, etc.
  • quickly provide suitable care and support to stop the situation from getting worse, which, if allowed to do so, may lead to (long-term) absenteeism.

The role play situations and simulations are staged as realistically as possible by an actor/actress present for the training. This helps participants acquire techniques and tools to:

  • listen to employees in a non-judgemental way and reassure them;
  • take preventive measures for the early detection of mental health issues;
  • encourage employees to seek appropriate, professional help and implement self-help strategies;
  • successfully reintegrate an employee on long-term sick leave.

After the training, we consolidate the participants’ knowledge during two short online follow-up sessions. During these follow-up sessions, we will work with propositions and realistic situations.
Optionally, a presentation can be given to all of the organisation’s employees to raise their awareness of mental health care.

The training session attendance is limited to a maximum of 15 participants. The training lasts one day.
