Support for the Supporters
Providing Mental Health First Aiders for your workplace is a fantastic solution to ensure your employees’ mental health is supported, but what about the supporters themselves? It’s important to make sure these individuals also have access to support within their role.
The Role of a Mental Health First Aider
Being a Mental Health First Aider is a fantastic opportunity for an individual, allowing them to not only support the overall business with their wellbeing initiatives, but also to provide support for their colleagues should they ever need it, contributing to a healthy and safe workplace where everyone can thrive.
However, the role of a Mental Health First Aider can often mean having difficult and emotional conversations which can be mentally taxing on an individual, so it’s vital to ensure they have access to support and resources to help them along in their role.
At Red Umbrella, we work with businesses to provide their MHFAiders with all the support they need, including:
Access to a Red Umbrella professional to provide advice, guidance and support wherever it may be needed
Support packages including helpful resources not only to help within the role, but also for individual wellbeing
Forums and upskilling opportunities
Group support sessions
Training Aftercare
As part of our support packages for Mental Health First Aiders, we also provide specialist training aftercare solutions, ensuring MHFAiders have access to all the support they need to help them in their new role.
Genuine Care and Professional Support for Mental Health First Aiders
Whilst it is your MHFAiders’ responsibility to provide signposting and support services for employees within your organisation, we believe it's our duty, as the experts in mental health, to provide them with exceptional levels of care and support along every step of their journey in their new role.
You know that when partnering with Red Umbrella for your workplace mental health solutions that we'll be on hand to help your team wherever needed, giving you complete peace of mind that EVERYONE within your business is supported.
