UNISON Belfast
2 Day Course - Tues. 21 & Tues. 26 May
UNISON recognises that reps are increasingly supporting members who are struggling with mental health as a result of a workplace issue or which can cause difficulty for them in the workplace. This can be emotionally challenging for any activist. This two day course supports participants to provide help to a person developing a mental health problem or who is in a mental health crisis but also be aware of your own emotional response. It will explore
- what is meant by mental health / mental ill health;
- Dealing with crisis situations such as suicidal behaviour, self-harm, panic attacks and acute psychotic behaviour;
- Recognising the signs and symptoms of common mental health problems including depression, anxiety disorders, psychosis and substance use disorders;
- Where and how to get help;
- Self-care strategies.
