Mental Health First Aid is a two day training course and explores the help given to someone experiencing a mental health problem before professional help is obtained.
Aims:
- To preserve life where a person may be a danger to themselves or others
- To provide help to prevent the mental health problems developing into a more serious state.
- To promote the recovery of good mental health
- To provide comfort to a person experiencing a mental health problem
Mental Health first Aid does not teach people to be therapists. However, it does teach people how to recognise the symptoms of mental health problems, how to provide initial help and how to guide a person towards appropriate professional help. MHFA is evidence based national training programme regulated by the national health Development Unit
Requirements A mental health first aid course requires:
- A commitment from all participants to attend both days of the course. Certificate of attendance and course handbook are only available to participants who complete the course.
- An understanding from all participants that the topic of mental ill health is a complex area that does not come with ‘quick fixes’.
- An understanding that any discussion about individuals is to be anonymous and confidential involvement in small group discussion.

National Citizen Service: School leavers offered a chance for the ‘Summer of a Lifetime’
North Staffs YMCA has been engaged by v, the young people’s volunteering charity and Dame Kelly Holmes Legacy Trust to deliver a pilot project across the city, offering 16 year olds the chance to take the challenge of their lives. After completing their exams year 11 students are being invited to apply to take part in a free and exciting summer of activities and community events, which they will design and deliver with support from an experienced staff team.
National Citizen Service is a Big Society initiative, supporting young people from all backgrounds to work together, take on new challenges and make a difference. It is a voluntary programme for 16 year olds and includes fun and challenging activities, away from home residential experiences and a self-designed social action project. The National Citizen Service aims to promote a more cohesive, responsible and engaged society by bringing young people from different backgrounds together to make a difference in their communities. Twelve pilot projects will run across
North Staffs YMCA have teamed up with Wolverhampton college to offer a challenging and fun packed week away at Kinver Scout camp in Stourbridge, participants will take part in exiting activities such as archery, climbing abseiling and zip lines. This will be followed by another week away at the C.O.G.7 centre in Nantwich where we will begin to plan a community project. We then move on to a full time week of planning and a couple of week’s part time to deliver the event.
YMCA Chief executive Danny Flynn Says “The YMCA’s national vision is that we are an inclusive Christian movement that want to see Young People, contribute, grow and thrive. Leaving school is a scary thing, you’re facing a new world of fantastic possibilities but where has everyone gone? The National Citizen Service will act as an exciting, creative bridge into those early days of independence. Young People will be taking part in activities where they will be unlocking their gifts, talents and have practical volunteering opportunities where they will learn both rights and responsibilities to themselves whilst serving others.”
If you are a year 11 student or a parent and would like more information please contact Steve Bailey or John Beswick on 01782 204975 or e-mail: steve.bailey@northstaffsymca.org.uk or you can also register online at: www.http://vinspired.com/summer-of-a-lifetime
