MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID
Why MHFA and why chose us to deliver?
Mental Health is just as important as physical health. And since the global pandemic we have seen a rise in those requiring help.
​
Mental health first aid helps to spot early warning signs in someone who is struggling and to prevent their mental health condition getting worse. This can be done by encouraging them to seek the relevant help whilst providing hands-on first aid skills first aid to prevent a crisis, such a suicide or self-harm.

HELLO!
I'm Gilly Steel
Being a Qualified Mental Health Nurse since 2002 has taught me that every moment filled with doubt, anxiety or pressure can be used as a catalyst for a fresh start. I have learnt that we are all able to help maintain our own mental wellbeing - and that of others - no matter what our background. With the right attitude and training, we can all tackle the stigma of mental health.
