Agnieszka, why have you chosen to be a Mental Health First Aider?

I am good a listener, and I can be a shoulder to cry on.  I would like to let all employees know that I am here for them whenever they wish to confide, or just want to have someone to talk too.

What do you feel are the benefits of having Mental Health First Aiders in our workplace?

I think it is great that a company like ours is providing someone who could perhaps be the first point of contact for people suffering with mental health problems – or any kind of problem.

We may be the first point of contact that our staff would like to open up to, especially if they don’t have any support from their friends or family.
