First Aid in Mental Health
Advertisements
Solution
- Mental Health First Aid ( MHFA) is an internationally recognised training programme designed to teach people how to identify the signs and symptoms of mental health and provide assistance on a first aid basis.
- The MHFA course was originally developed by Betty Kitchener, a registered nurse specialising in mental health education, and Anthony Jorm a professor of psychology in Australia.
- First aid in mental health is a concept that is based on the idea of “prevention is better than cure”.
- Mental illness usually does not develop ‘out of the blue’. Often there are small or subtle changes where the individual feels like something is not right.
- People around them might also notice a change in their thinking, feelings or behaviours. If these early signs are recognised, they can be helped.
