May is Mental Health Month, what a great time to do soe accredited training.

The Standard Mental Health First Aid course teaches participants how to provide initial support to another adult who may be experiencing a mental health problem or mental health crisis, until professional help is received or the crisis resolves.

Course participants learn about the signs and symptoms of common mental health problems in adults, how to recognise and respond to an emerging or worsening mental health problem and the treatments and supports available.

Using a practical, evidence-based action plan, course participants learn how to approach someone they are concerned about and initiate a conversation about those concerns. Participants also learn how to offer initial support and information and how to encourage the person to seek professional help or other supports.

Adults who complete the course become Mental Health First Aiders (MHFAiders), equipped with the knowledge, confidence, and skills to provide someone with mental health information and support when it matters most.

This course is recognised by Su***de Prevention Australia as a safe, high-quality, and effective su***de prevention program

Last week was hectic, had some great chats with Mens at the Central Mens Shed and the Kings Meadows Men’s Shed and then the large gathering at the Miena Community Club.

Lovely to met Comia the dog , it’s a great vibe when the dogs are in the sheds.

Miena is always great to catch up and chat to the boys in a large group.

Little up date on some shed visits recently to Burnie Men's Shed, Claremont Men's Shed Inc, East Tamar Men’s Shed and the Spring Bay Mens Shed

The boys know how to grow a few veggies up at Burnie.

East Tamar were in wrapping new toys, I am sure the new saw will be a hit.

Claremont is always good for a laugh and a cuppa.

Triabunna is home, i love going back and seeing familiar faces.

Talking about the safety around the house and how small trips and falls can led to serious medical and mental health issues.

Stay safe and finish the week strong 💪🏻
