We are a Lived Experience Led Mental Health & Well-being Social Enterprise responding to the National Mental Health crisis and, in particular, the suicide crisis amongst men and young people.
Early Intervention & Prevention through First Aid For Mental Health is key!
We offer 3 Levels of First Aid For Mental Health Training
We believe Mental Health is a collective responsibility within our communities which encompasses, businesses, organisations and educational institutions, and most importantly as individuals.
There are no simple answers to a complex issue, however, we must find ways of working together to achieve best practice across all sectors. To help facilitate this, thought must be given to the needs and resources of all organisations regardless of size. We must be pro-active and willing to work organically towards the needs and limitations of each organisation.
We strongly believe that a healthy mind is the most important factor in creating a healthy society. Our focus on learning and development, education and supporting culture change will help everyone (including volunteers etc.) achieve this and much more.
First Aid For Mental Health should be available to all and not be dependent on organisations being able to afford it. We must find co-productive and collective ways of working to tackle one of the biggest challenges Society is facing.
We offer a co-productive model to deliver courses within the community. This involves organisations from all sectors coming together to plan, share and experience our courses as a collective, creating greater community cohesion in terms of improving mental health.
This model includes sharing costs & places amongst organisations, using community-based venues whilst offering community-based organisations and venues free spaces for their volunteers. Contact us for more information
We began trading in February this year and have delivered 3 courses within the community including West Lothian College, Craigsfarm Community Complex and Fauldhouse and Breich Valley CDT. This resulted in 25 people becoming Mental Health First Aiders. (5 of whom were volunteers therefore attended for free).
