In February 2022 some of our Rainbow Team took part in Mental Health First Aid training. A group from across all Rainbow sites attended the training which means that as a wider group we can work together ensuring that the advice and support given is the best course of action.
The company MHFA England has been offering training for over 10 years working with people to increase their knowledge in mental health and the confidence to recognise signs of mental health and the ability to providing the support that people may need.
As a team we feel more able and confident to approach people we feel are struggling or suffering with mental health. As a result of an increase in confidence we can support our staff team in their individual needs. We now have an increased understanding across a range of mental health areas and resources to use to be able to extend the help needed.
