Digital course: Become a first responder to mental health
Learn to spot early signs of mental illness and how you can help and act. The Student Health Service is now offering a digital two-day training on 17–18 March. The course is in Swedish.
20-40% of the population is estimated to suffer from some form of mental illness, ranging from mild worry and anxiety to more serious mental illnesses. Early intervention to help is of great importance. The Student Health Service therefore wants to educate both students and staff in order to increase knowledge about mental illness and how you can help someone close to you who is feeling bad.
Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is not about making diagnoses, but is about increasing knowledge and treatment. Behind the training material and the course is Karolinska Institutet/NASP (National Centre for Suicide Research and Prevention). The training lasts 14 hours and after completing the training, the participants receive a certificate showing that they have completed the training to become a first aider.
The course is divided into two occasions and is digital.
