Mental Health First Aid at Sussex
We have a network of Mental Health First Aiders who are available to support staff.
Mental Health First Aiders are trained to listen non-judgementally, provide support and reassurance and signpost to appropriate professional services.
If you are experiencing poor mental health - or are concerned about a colleague - talking to a trained Mental Health First Aider could help. Take a look through the profiles below to find someone you'd be comfortable talking to.
We will be training more MHFAiders so do keep visiting this page as we add more profiles.
