Congratulations to Amy Whitaker and Sam Moon ! 🎉
We're delighted to congratulate Amy and Sam on successfully completing their Mental Health First Aid training.
Mental Health First Aid equips people with the knowledge and confidence to recognise the signs that someone may be experiencing a mental health challenge, offer initial support, and guide them towards appropriate professional help when needed.
Just like physical first aid, it's about providing support when it matters most.
As part of their training, Amy and Sam have also learned about the Orange Button Community Scheme.
The Orange Button is a simple but powerful initiative that identifies trained members of the community who are available to listen, support, and signpost people who may be struggling with their mental health and thoughts of su***de.
The Orange Button signifies that the person displaying it:
🧡 Is OK to say and hear the word su***de 🧡 Can listen without judgement
🧡 Can support people through signposting to appropriate services.
At our organisation, we are committed to promoting positive mental wellbeing for the people we support, their families, and our staff team.
We're incredibly proud of Amy and Sam for taking this important step and helping us create a more supportive, understanding, and compassionate community.
Well done, Amy and Sam! 👏🧡
