Your Youth Mental Health First Aid webinar is coming up, so it’s time to download the below resources to have ready.
We’ll be referring to these on the webinars, so make sure you have them accessible during the sessions, digitally or printed.
Your zoom links will be sent to you via email, please let us know if you have not received them prior to Day 1.
Your facilitator will be online about 15 minutes before the scheduled start time, and we strongly encourage you to do the same. Doing this will allow time for any technical issues you may have when joining the Zoom Meeting.
The webinars will start on time, and once they have, The facilitator won’t be able to help you with questions about how to join the session.
We’ll make use of this on the webinar, but feel free to take a quick look at it and think about how you do self care.
Take a moment to read through the participant distress protocol.
The course can occasionally cause upset to some participants, stemming from the nature of the content.
It’s best to do your MHFA course when you are feeling well, but even someone who is feeling great might be upset by thinking about some of these difficult topics.
The good news is that this doesn’t happen very often.
The Distress Protocol gives some tips and also information about how to raise any distress with your facilitator.
Print a few of these out to have with you during the webinar. We’ll be going through ALGEE together and they are useful to help you apply the skills you have learnt.
Save these or print them out and have them with you during the webinars.
