As proud signatories of the Armed Forces Covenant, NHS Fife is committed to supporting its Armed Forces community, including veterans, reservists and their families.
Fife Health Charity were delighted to be able to support the provision of Mental Health First Aid training for armed forces personnel and reservists employed by NHS Fife and those who provide support to them.
The training enabled attendees gain a deeper understanding of mental health, with specific relevance to forces personnel and the factors that can affect their wellbeing, along with practical skills to spot triggers and signs of mental health challenges.
Attendees provided feedback that they could already identify areas where their new skills and knowledge could prove useful.
Staff attending the course have been provided with practical skills and knowledge to support a specific demographic who may not always feel seen, heard, understood or appropriately supported.
