Falck is launching a new e-learning on mental health where you will learn more about how to approach and help someone who is struggling. You will also learn how to prevent mental health issues and how to identify crisis reactions.
We know that it is important to work preventively and to act in cases of mental health issues, but meeting someone who is struggling can feel difficult and challenging for many. Psychological first aid is about being able to provide support to people who are suffering due to mental health issues or because of an event that has occurred.
"The purpose of this training is, among other things, to provide knowledge so that you can recognize mental health issues, both in yourself and in those around you," says Anna Wickberg, psychologist at Falck.
