Samsic UK’s Mental Health First Aider (MHFA) program equips a team of volunteers to support our employees who are suffering mentally in the workplace. Their role is to identify an individual’s needs, before referring them to specialist agencies that can offer practical help.
We deliver an expert-led training program for our MHFAs, as well as ongoing support. This ensures that their own needs are met before they attend to the needs of their colleagues.
Iliya’s story:
I feel that being a mental health first aider will allow me to offer all my staff another level of support which they may not always be aware that they need. Being able to spot the signs of poor mental health amongst my workers will enable me to act quickly and offer support to my staff before their issues escalate and put them in danger.
I have supported several people in my personal life with their mental health issues and I am keen to use those skills in the workplace.
