First Crisis Skills Training Programme group graduates
On February 8th, the first Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training group for the community of Väike-Õismäe graduated! There are 24 more trainings to come in the spring.
The mental health first aid training took place in two phases: on the 1st of February on-site and on the 8th of February online, and was conducted for the first group of participants from the community of Väike-Õismäe by clinical psychologist Kadi Parve from the NGO Peaasjad. The training provided the participants with the knowledge and skills on how to offer first aid support to people with emotional and mental difficulties in a crisis situation.
Participants learnt how to recognise mental health concerns, share relevant information, and apply self-help skills to maintain their well-being. A week was left between the training sessions to allow participants to practice what they had learnt and to learn how to provide mental health first aid to others and to themselves in a crisis. Practical exercises were also carried out to help practice their listening-marking-helping skills.
In total, the project will deliver dozens of training sessions on different topics to make the community and the settlement of Väike-Õismäe more crisis-resilient.
🟧🟦 The activities of the K-24 project will be carried out by the Crisis Research Centre, and the implementation of the project activities is supported by the Civil Society Foundation through the Ministry of the Interior.
