Mental Health First Aid

What is Mental Health First Aid?
It often helps to think of Mental Health First Aid in terms of its physical equivallent.
Physical First Aid is well recognised, to provide a basic level of support in an emergency situation.
Mental Health First Aid does the same thing, but for mental health.
Mental Health First Aiders have a general understanding of common mental health issues, how to speak with a person who may have a mental health issue, and how to suggest professional services that are there to help.
