Mental Health Resources

Training

• Mental Health First Aid England
• First Aid Awards (Mental Health First Aid)
• British Safety Council (mental health and resilience training)
• Trauma Risk Management (TRiM) procedures are in place for MTA, AMI, BMG and BAIML members (plus the staff teams of national centres and some other large providers). Trauma Risk Management – TRiM – is a peer delivered system of risk assessment and ongoing support designed to assist in the management of traumatic events. It is not a clinical intervention, a form of counselling or treatment. It allows peers to understand likely reactions to traumatic incidents and conduct structured risk assessments, aiming to identify people needing early referral to qualified medical support.
