The Seafarers Awareness First Aid for Mental Health Course is incorporated into our Ofqual regulated:

 

RQF Level 1 Award:
Level 1 Award in Awareness of First Aid for Mental Health (RQF)
 

Seafarers are employed in a unique environment which can subject them to extended periods of isolation, limited social interaction and long term separation from family and friends at home. Combined with additional contributory factors, mental health and wellbeing of seafarers can be adversely affected.
 

This awareness course is suitable for everyone as it provides learners with the knowledge to recognise a suspected mental health condition and the skills to start a conversation and be able to signpost a person towards professional help.
 

All members of the public can benefit from this course and it is a great stepping stone into First Aid for Mental Health.
