In Scotland it is estimated that mental ill health will affect more than one in three people each year. Sadly there there were 784 probable suicide cases in Scotland in 2018 (that's over two per day!!), with male three times more likely to take their own life than females.
Mental health is about how we think, feel and behave. Anxiety and depression are the most common mental health problems. They are often a reaction to a difficult life event, such as bereavement, but can also be caused by work-related issues.
The HSE recognises the impact that Mental Ill Health has on both individual and employer and advises that businesses should consider provision to deal with mental ill health in the workplace and provide personal trained (Mental Health First Aiders) to recognise warning signs and offer the correct support or signposting.
Our Mental Health First Aid Courses , teach delegates how to recognise warning signs of mental ill health and help them to develop the skills and confidence to approach and support someone, while keeping themselves safe.
