Mental Health First Aid

The aims of Mental Health First Aid are:
- to preserve life where a person may be a danger to themselves or others
-to provide help to prevent the mental health problems developing into a more serious state
-to promote the recovery of good mental health
-to provide comfort to a person experiencing a mental health problem

MHFA does not teach people to be a therapist. However, it does teach people to recognize the symptoms of mental health problems, how to provide initial help and how to guide a person towards appropriate financial help.

Mind Week 9-16 May 2009
men and mental health

Mind Week 9-16 May 2009 We know that some men haven’t always been encouraged to talk about their feelings. But everyone can feel low sometimes, and anyone can have a mental health problem. That’s why Mind is telling men to Get it off your chest for Mind week 2009

Flintshire Mind Graffiti Board
To raise awareness of this issue Flintshire Mind had a stand with a Graffiti Board outside two local supermarkets. We invited men to write on the board anything that had made them happy or unhappy in the past week.
Flintshire Mind would like to thank Sainsbury Supermarket, Flint and Somerfield Supermarket, Mold for their help with raising the profile of this important issue.

Comic Relief Video

In 2009 Comic Relief featured mental health as a key issue during Red Nose Day broadcasting, and showed a short film of people talking about their experiences of mental health problems, stigma and discrimination.

Watch it on YouTube (this link will open in a separate window).

Flintshire Mind aims to provide high quality services for people living with mental distress.
