REACH: Mental Health First Responders
This 4 days Mental Health First Responders course trains participants in common mental health problems, their symptoms and how to provide effective, immediate interventions. Attendees will develop key skills and, using our Five Step REACH approach, will learn how to:
Reach out to someone in distress
Encourage those in need to engage
Assess for risk
Connect the person to appropriate professional help
Help them access the supports needed
By the end of the course, the fully trained Mental Health First Responders will be able to provide emergency mental health support to anyone struggling with an issue or crisis, helping to prevent problems from becoming more serious and de-escalating crisis situations until professional support arrives.
