Mental Health – Your Role in Removing the Stigma

  

MHFA Logo RGB OMS Logo PNG

Mental Health problems are common, with Mind Charity finding that approximately 1 in 4 people in the UK experience a mental health problem each year. As a result, talking about issues related to mental health has become vitally important in the workplace and communities, and OMS is no different.

Recognising the significance of such a growing problem, we have launched our 2-Day Mental Health First Aid Course (England), specifically designed for those in all walks of life to:

mhh

  • To enable trainees to gain a Mental Health First Aid (England) award in Adult – Mental Health First Aid (MHFA)
  • Spot the early signs of a possible mental health issue
  • Feel confident in how to offer and provide initial help to a person experiencing a mental health issue
  • Preserve life where a person may be at risk of harm to themselves or others
  • Help to stop mental health from getting worse and to give hope to someone who needs guidance
  • Promote recovery of good mental health
  • Guide someone towards appropriate treatment and other sources of help
  • Understand the stigma that exists around mental health
  • Provide help on a first aid basis

With this qualification, you will have the ability to identify and tackle mental health issues with confidence.

This is particularly crucial in the workplace, which can often be a busy and hectic environment with little time given to discussing any issues with health, particularly with the stigma that once came with opening up about feelings and thoughts.

The Mental Health Foundation suggests that better mental health support can save UK businesses 8 billion pounds a year, further highlighting the need for businesses in particular, to educate themselves.

Despite its significance in the workplace, mental health discussion remains relevant in all walks of life, be it offering guidance to a colleague, advice to a friend, or support to a loved one.

OMS passionately supports discussion of mental health whatever the situation, we think you should too. Become an advocate yourself, and book onto our Mental Health First Aid Course using our website here, via social media or over the phone on 01530 833533.

Thanks very much for the Health and Safety seminar last week, I have had some very good reactions to the 2 days from all the participants.

Glenn Edwards

I think it is the first time I have seen auditors still smiling after a two day course and a number of auditors have said to me that it is the best course they have ever been on. From a personal point of view I thoroughly enjoyed the course and, being a course presenter/trainer myself, I know how difficult it can be keeping an “audience” engaged on what can be a very dry subject - but you did it. These courses are the first time we have used OMS as a training provider but they will be our provider of choice in the future.

John Davidson

Head of Field Operations (Systems), NSI

Inchcape Shipping Services have been working with OMS for some time on a number of high profile projects. They have successful delivered a range of safety training courses for our employees, as well as carrying Health and Safety and Quality Consultancy services, both in the UK and internationally. I have found that OMS have always provided us with services of a very high standard, their consultants are always attentive and proactive and they provided creative, on-time solutions that have added tremendous value to our business.

Simon Peters

Senior Vice President – Liner Operations, Inchcape Shipping Services

In my dealings with OMS I have found the consultants to be knowledgeable and capable trainers for Health and Safety training courses, and their Office Support for administration of courses to be both efficient and effective. I would not hesitate to recommend OMS as a provider of Health and Safety training.

Dr Iain Anderson

Molson Coors Brewing Company

The OMS team are always helpful and friendly and they don’t hard-sell their product, a refreshing change when it comes to training providers! Instead, they partner with us and understand our business. We are very happy to have OMS as our preferred training partner.
