Supporting our Team
06/04/2022
In 2020 Lyn-Marie (Registered Manager) and Amreet (Deputy Manager) attended training with MHFA England where they became mental health first aiders.
The course involved learning how to recognise and identify the signs and symptoms of many mental health disorders, and how to support the individual. It is not about counselling or giving advice, it is about listening without judgement and signposting them to organisations that can help.
One in four of us will experience a mental health issue at some point in our lives.
The role as mental health first aider involves working towards reducing stigma and creating a workplace where our staff feel comfortable coming to talk to us about their mental health. Good physical health and good mental health go hand in hand, you can’t have one without the other.
“It has given me the confidence to be able to support our staff in getting help, if and when they may need it. “

At Bluebird Care Bedford we believe that supporting our staff is just as important as the care and support we provide to our customers.
