Mental health first aid is the support provided to a person who may be experiencing a decline in their mental well-being or a mental health crisis.
Most people are familiar with CPR and know what to do when they are faced with a cardiac emergency. However, would you know what to do if you were faced with someone having a mental health emergency? Now more than ever, it can be vital to understand the signs and symptoms of someone in a mental health crisis and know how to help.
→ Premiers soins en santé mentale (in French) | DÉTAILS DU COURS (IN FRENCH)
When: February 17 & 14, 2023 | 10:30 am – 2:30 pm
Les premiers soins en santé mentale sont le soutien apporté à une personne qui souffre d'un déclin de son bien-être mental ou une crise de santé mentale.
La plupart des gens connaissent la RCR et savent quoi faire lorsqu'ils sont confrontés à une urgence cardiaque. Cependant, sauriez-vous quoi faire si vous étiez confronté à une personne ayant une urgence de santé mentale? Maintenant plus que jamais, il peut être vital de comprendre les signes et les symptômes d'une personne en crise de santé mentale et de savoir comment l'aider.
