Why does Mental Health Matter? Most of us want to feel good, function well and connect with others in our society. Our health and how we feel is central to be able to cope with life and its pressures. To meet the ever increasing needs of New Zealanders, NZRC has developed the Mental Health in the Workplace training programme. This is based on material from The Mental Health Foundation, Australia Red Cross and International Federation of Red Cross among others.

Psychological First Aid (PFA) is a ‘best practice’ approach to providing initial emotional and practical support to someone who has experienced a traumatic event – either a large scale disaster event or a personal traumatic incident. PFA can be seen as the mental and emotional equivalent of medical First Aid and can be provided by both lay and professional helpers. It builds organisational and community resilience plus the capacity to respond well to traumatic events in the workplace or community.

Starting with Mental Health gives participants the knowledge and confidence to cope with colleagues, customers and whānau experiencing mental distress.
