• Staff rep­re­sen­ta­tives

Description:

An offer from CNAPA in cooperation with the ​“Ligue Santé Mentale”.

The First Aid Course for Mental Health provides basic knowledge about mental illnesses and acute crises. The aim is to enable par­tic­i­pants to recognize mental stress early, to address those affected in an empathetic and non-judgmental manner, and to encourage them to seek pro­fes­sion­al help.

This training is not a diagnostic or therapeutic instrument, but a practical tool for early support in case of mental stress. Topics covered include, among others:

• Depressions and anxiety disorders
• Addiction issues
• Psychotic episodes
• Acute crises (e.g., suicidal thoughts, panic attacks, aggressive behaviors)

In addition to First Aid Mental Health, CNAPA offers the following in-depth measures in a business context:

• Advice on corporate addiction prevention and psy­choso­cial risks in the workplace
• Workshops for internal contact persons
• Training in moti­va­tion­al con­ver­sa­tion – mastering difficult con­ver­sa­tions with employees and/​or colleagues

Goals:

Par­tic­i­pants will learn:

• to recognize mental suffering
• to sensitively approach and adequately support affected individuals
• to involve pro­fes­sion­al help
