Me, 3B and the role we play
What is Mental Health, First Aid and why we need MHFA?
A story about Mental Health
What is Mental Health First Aid?
Summary of Mental Health and how can we help

7. Me and 3B Training……………
Worked mostly in or around the construction industry

I have a good support network of family & friends, I’ve got a daughter and I have a fiancée

Actively work with clients to address issues of poor mental health within the workplace

A further 4 mores cases where we have supported staff through poor mental health

9. why do we need Mental Health First Aid?
What is Mental Health,
what is First Aid and
why do we need Mental Health First Aid?
MHFA is the help offered to a person with a mental health issue. No different from the help you may give to someone with a broken bone – it doesn’t make you a councillor like the First Aid at work course doesn’t make you a surgeon. Like all First Aid mental health first aid is given until appropriate professional help is received.
Why MHFA?
Mental Health issues are common, 1 in 4 will experience some form of mental health issue (prove it) Anxiety is a posh word for frightened Spiders, Rats, Snakes, the dark, injections/needles, heights, flying, insects/wasps.
There is a stigma associated with mental ill health which we need to dispel
Many aren’t well informed – what to look for? What are effective treatments?

10. Stigma & Statistics
1 in 4 will suffer from a mental health issue in their life time and 1 in 5 have had suicidal thoughts
Stress and mental health in GB is at it’s highest in 17 years and is now the number one work related illness overtaking musculoskeletal disorders
15.4 m days lost to stress and mental health issues in 17/18
In suicides in the UK (inc NI)

11. Stigma & Statistics
A 2017 survey of 3400 found 23% are considering leaving the construction industry due to stress and or mental health issues
The same survey of employees felt 73% of employers wouldn’t recognise early signs of ill mental health
Between 2011 – 2015 there was 18,998 suicides, 13,232 had an occupation of which 1419 worked in construction (10 women)
Men between are most likely to take their lives and is the leading cause of death for men under 50
Finishing trades are twice at risk compared to the national average

12. Stigma & Statistics
Broken down, there were 1,050 suicides among those working in construction and building trades, 357 within building finishing trades and 12 by those employed as construction and building trades supervisors.

13. First Aid vs Mental Health First Aid
First Aid 1. Preserve life 2. Prevent the condition from worsening 3. Promote recovery 4. Provide comfort to the ill or injured person
Mental Health First Aid
Preserve life to someone who is at risk of harming themselves or others
Provide help to prevent the mental health issue becoming worse
Promote recovery
Provide comfort to a person with a mental health issue

14. Two stories about Mental Health
There are different ways to define mental health: some definitions emphasise positive phycological wellbeing, some emphasise the absence of mental health issues. What ever your definition is we all have mental health.
Mental health is often more easily described on a scale 0 – 10, sad to happy, A – Z, the amount of plates spinning
What ever the scale we all sit on it somewhere and this changes depending on events and our genes – mental health will change based on what we are given and what traumatic events we face.
I want to tell a story of two people
Me: Loving family & friends, sporty, did well at school, had a good job. But as time went on like most of you I developed scares things that had an impact on me, I can’t tell you why but they did and over time they built up and I kept them to myself.
Mike: I met him in my late teens, he seemed to have everything, a good job, the car, no worries, a laugh in the pub, close family – but then he had a bad time of it, things didn’t seem so good anymore – he also kept them to himself.
The problem is sometimes we aren’t very good at opening up.

15. Two stories about Mental Health
Mike’s story:
What's up with them?
Did anyone catch the footy?
