Mental Health First Aid Training

Last year Mentality and Imperial College Union worked together to conduct research to identify the levels of stress and causes of poor mental health. 

The results of the survey confirmed that there are high-levels of stress at Imperial and that poor mental health is commonplace. To read more about this please follow this link

 

As part of the recommendations of the report we are already seeing widespread changes being implemented across the training, including a redesign of Imperial's Welfare website, and a review of Student Support Services as well as an increase in the services being provided in some areas. 

As part of this Imperial College Union wants to support students to be able to support their friends and classmates, as part of this we are offering Mental Health First Aid Lite training. 

The training give students the skills to:

  • Identify the discrimination surrounding mental health issues
  • Define mental health & some common mentalth health issues
  • Relate to people's experiences
  • Look after your own mental health

 

The training would usually cost £30, but Imperial College Union is contributing to subsidise the training to just £12.
