Wednesday 2nd July, 12pm UK | Mental health first aid (MHFA) has long been the go-to concept for organisations seeking to offer better wellbeing support across their organisation.
While the concept has been widely adopted, it has come with mixed results and not without controversy. MHFA training is unregulated, some of the concepts around the disorders model are outdated, and there is a lack of consistent evidence on the effectiveness of MHFA.
Nevertheless, having trained mental health champions across an organisation has been proven to increase awareness of mental health support, as well as increasing the effectiveness of other interventions such as widespread training, stress reduction techniques and existing support structures. Organisations don’t have to rethink their mental health strategy. MHFA can be improved and strengthened, making an impact across your entire wellbeing footprint.
In this webinar, wellbeing expert Eileen Donnelly, CEO of Ripple&Co, alongside the compliance team from VinciWorks, will breakdown how your organisation can reassess and improve on your wellbeing strategy. From enhancing peer support mechanisms to restructuring existing MHFA provisions, we’ll explore how to improve your wellbeing footprint, without having to start your strategy from scratch.
In this webinar, we’ll be drawing on different sources of evidence to explore:
- Mental Health First Aid: Are We Setting People Up to Succeed?
- Making Wellbeing Measurable: Moving from Intuition to Insight
- Peer Support with Boundaries: Rethinking Informal Networks
- Beyond Awareness: What Makes Wellbeing Training Actually Stick?
- Tools and techniques: demonstrations of practical measures and tested tools for wellbeing support across the organisation
