SafeHaven CISM’s Post

🌟 I just watched a fascinating talk by [psychologist] Dr Guy Winch, he spoke about how we treat our emotional health with the same importance we give our physical health. He points out that we need to look at our emotional hygiene and change the way we think about mental health. Let’s end the stigma and treat our emotional health as important as we do our physical health. Watch here: [Add link to the TED Talk video]#EmotionalHealth #MentalWellness #TEDTalks #SelfCare.

Suicide in the construction industry is four times higher than the national average. September is #NationalSuicidePreventionMonth and a good time to consider what you can do to help end this issue, especially if you are in the trades. The 4x5 Suicide Prevention Program, started by the safety team at CSE, provides Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training courses, life-saving resources, and presentations to increase awareness of this important issue and create work environments where employees can support their physical and mental well-being. Help us end suicide in construction for good. Visit 4x5program.org to learn how you can get involved.

➖ KEY POINTS from 'Psychological First Aid' ➖ 🗝The session focused on building emotionally safe spaces in different contexts, where there is the possibility to face high levels of stress. 🗝Patti and Tembi explained how trauma affects the brain and the nervous system, and how it can impair learning, communication, and well-being. 🗝They introduced the concept of triggers, which are unconscious reactions to situations that activate earlier wounds or traumas, and how to manage them by breathing and self-regulating. 🗝We were introduced to the RAPID model, which is a step-by-step approach to provide psychosocial support to someone who is facing difficulties or challenges, by building rapport, assessing, prioritising, intervening, and directing to further care. 🗝Finally, the session provided us with interpersonal and organisational strategies for creating emotional safety, such as checking in and out, creating reflective spaces, celebrating each other, and creating consistency and routine.

🤔ARE MENTAL HEALTH AND PHYSICAL FIRST AIDERS DIFFERENT 🤔 Interestingly in March 2024, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) published guidance to employers around disclosing personal information in a Mental Health emergency. “The Data Protection law DOES allow organisations to share personal information in an urgent or emergency situation, including to help them prevent loss of life or serious physical, emotional or mental harm”. In it’s update the ICO quite rightly states that symptoms of mental health emergencies can be difficult to recognise and difficult to judge. Comparing back to physical first aid, we ‘look, listen, feel’ for breaths, we see if there is colour in the skin, we have much more tangible information and actions we can take I would suggest, in comparison to mental health first aid. #TheLearn2Group #FirstAidTraining #Brandon #FirstAidCourse #MentalHealthFirstAid
