i have recently sat a Community links Mental health first aid course.

What a crock of shit!

In what way was it a "crock of shit", in fact, what exactly is a "Mental health first aid course"?

Very generalized and a human resources way of categorizing and preventing suicide, time off work and draining public resources!

the course aims to enable a person to administer first aid when someone is in trauma!

If paramedics, G.P's and CPN have their work cut out how does a family member, friend, peer educator or advocate help?!
