The last Mental Health First Aid training group in Väike-Õismäe has graduated
The training program provided participants in the five training groups with comprehensive knowledge and skills on how to provide initial support to people with emotional and mental difficulties in a crisis situation, with a particular emphasis on how to respond to acute (e.g., war-time) crisis situations in shelters.
Participants learned how to recognise mental health concerns, share relevant information, and use self-help techniques to protect their own and others’ well-being, which is becoming increasingly important in terms of community resilience in the context of Ukraine’s ongoing conflict. The training sessions included a variety of practical exercises to help them improve their listening-marking-assisting abilities.
Mental health first aid training within the framework of the K-24 project took place in Väike-Õismäe in two phases, first in the form of contact training, and then in the form of online training after a week of practice. The training was conducted by experienced clinical psychologists Kadi Parve and Ailen Suurtee from the NGO Peaasjad on behalf of the Crisis Research Centre. We thank them for their inspiring training!
🟧🟦 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.
