EIC promotes Mental health First Aider Training

The Electrical industries Charity (EIC) is promoting Mental Health First Aider training courses for electrotechnical professionals in the UK.

The annual Mental Health in the Trades report recently found that four in five (82%) UK tradespeople experience mental health problems due to their work. The EIC also found that depression and anxiety are the most-diagnosed mental illnesses in the construction industry, at 55% and 59% respectively.

The EIC offers a range of training programmes delivered by accredited trainers. The courses are available to anyone and provide training on mental health with diverse focus areas. There is something for everyone, from 1 hour wellbeing courses to four-day mental health first aider training.

The Mental Health First Aider Training covers topics including but not limited to depression, suicide, addiction, anxiety and gives attendees the tools to help someone who is showing signs of these mental illnesses.

The Mental Health First Aider Training can also be delivered virtually over four days and provides the same benefits as the standard training.
