INTERMEDIATE PSYCHOLOGICAL FIRST AID (COMPLEX REACTIONS AND SUICIDE AWARENESS)
A colleague goes quiet. Someone breaks down. Another says something that stops you cold. These moments happen in real workplaces every day. This course prepares you for when they do -- and when they are harder than anything the Foundational course covered.
Description
Who this is for
This course is for anyone who has completed the Foundational Psychological First Aid course and wants to go further. If you are a peer supporter, a nominated well-being contact, or simply someone people tend to turn to, this is your next step.
No clinical background required.
What you will walk away with
By the end of the session, you will be able to:
- Recognise how complex distress -- including trauma, grief, anxiety and panic -- shows up at work
- Identify indicators of self-harm and suicidal ideation, and respond with care and clarity
- Apply the Prepare--Look--Listen--Link framework confidently to more demanding situations
- Escalate concerns appropriately and know exactly when your role ends
- Practise your response through realistic workplace scenarios and guided role-plays
