Through an understanding of wellbeing triage skills they are able to determine the appropriate signposting from an evidence based, measurable approach. Access to the award-winning Cari® wellbeing assessment platform elevates the support Wellbeing 1st Responders can provide colleagues and enables them to measure and evidence the effectiveness of their role.

Whether you are uplifting the skills of your Mental Health First Aiders or developing a cohort of wellbeing champions for building an inclusive culture, this simple, evidence-based process will ensure that positive conversations in wellbeing support healthier and happier workplaces.

Course Details

Part 1, introduction consists of around 2 hours of online study, exploring the mental health continuum and how to champion wellbeing and provide light touch support to colleagues through Cari online wellbeing assessments. It includes access to our award winning wellbeing platform, Cari, enabling students to measure and report on the wellbeing of their cohort.

Part 2, the qualification, includes further online study to explore how to safely support colleagues who may be struggling or in crisis. Students will develop a deeper ability to manage difficult scenarios safely. Know how to spot the signs someone may be struggling, and how to support them – while keeping both themselves, and their colleagues, safe. Two live workshop sessions deepen and reinforce learning, giving students space to ask questions, share thoughts and experiences, and best practice. Tutor assessed assignments embed learning, and the forum provides an opportunity to build a supportive peer network with Wellbeing 1st Responders from around the world.

Optional ILM Recognition available.
