Mental Health First Aid: A Cornerstone for Support
At Dynamic Ability Support, we believe in the power of support. Our mission is to empower our clients, their families, and the larger community, by providing tailored support services. We understand that each person has unique needs and abilities, hence, we strive to offer individualised support solutions. As part of preparing our staff to deliver tailored solutions, we look beyond only physical challenges and embrace the sometimes unseen challenges of mental health too. We demonstrate this commitment by training 100% of our team in Mental Health First Aid. Mental Health First Aid is a program that equips our support workers with the necessary skills to provide immediate assistance to those experiencing mental health crises.
What is Mental Health First Aid?
Mental Health First Aid is a training program that teaches support workers how to identify, understand, and respond to signs of mental health crises and substance use disorders. It provides them with the skills they need to reach out and offer initial help and support to someone who may be developing a mental health or substance use problem, or experiencing a crisis.
Dynamic Ability Support: More Than Just a Service
Dynamic Ability Support is not just a service; it's a commitment to empowering individuals, supporting them in their journey towards independence. It's about recognising and celebrating individual uniqueness. Our support workers, trained in Mental Health First Aid, are equipped to provide personalised and comprehensive support, enhancing the overall wellbeing of our Participants.
At Dynamic Ability Support, we have integrated Mental Health First Aid into our dynamic approach. This integration ensures that our support workers are fully equipped to provide the necessary assistance in times of need. It allows us to offer a more complete support solution, addressing not just the physical, but also the mental and emotional needs of our clients.
