What is a Mental Health First Aider?
A Mental Health First Aider in the workplace is the go-to person for anyone who is going through any type of mental health issue.
The first aider will be available to help guide the person to the relevant help that they need. They will also have the relevant knowledge to be able to spot someone who may be developing a mental health issue. Being a Mental Health First Aider doesn’t qualify them to provide therapy to someone who may need it, but it does make them able to offer support and help make their life at work easier. It is important for the Mental Health First Aiders to encourage professional support and sign post where that can be found.
We are here to offer support

The invisible illness
Mental illness is just as important as physical illness. Therefore, being supportive of someone’s mental wellbeing is essential to a person’s recovery.
This is why we now have Mental Health First Aiders with ERIKS Ireland.
Confidentiality is paramount
As trained Mental Health First Aiders we are taught that confidentiality is everything, the key to a trusting partnership with the person needing help.
Any personal information given to us will be kept between you and the first aider, the first aider will destroy any personal information to do with the contact when no longer required.
No information is fed back to Colleagues, Management, People Operations or the ERIKS Management Board without your personal consent.
However, if necessary, Mental Health First Aiders will pass personal information to professional services in an emergency or critical situation as deemed necessary by Mental Health First Aid Procedures where your health and wellbeing are our highest priority.
We take your confidentiality very seriously, if you believe your confidentiality has been breached please contact Hollie.Sloman@eriks.co.uk Chair of the Mental Health Committee with your concerns, for them to be investigated and action taken.
