Are you of legal drinking age in your country of residence?
A great tool for recognising how mentally well you or others are, is to use the Mental Health Continuum.
It can make it an easy way to reach out for help or ask someone else how they are doing.
"I think I'm slipping into orange." "Do you feel you might have slipped out of green?"
Let’s all learn these colours, so we can help ourselves and each other by talking in green, yellow, orange and red, as well as take appropriate action according to our fitness level.
It’s important to invest time in staying both mentally and physically fit.
This helps us feel equipped to deal with challenges and curve balls as they arise.
Staying mentally fit helps us become more robust, more productive, more positive and better prepared for life’s ups and downs.
Our mental and physical health are very much interlinked. They can also fluctuate so it is important to recognise the signs of being unwell and reach out sooner rather than later. This can sometimes feel uncomfortable so the more we destigmatise talking about mental health the easier and better it becomes for everyone.
Please scroll down for webinars and other useful resources on understanding more about mental wellbeing and how to stay mentally fit, as well as links to useful numbers and websites.
As well as running physical First Aid courses, St John's also run a Mental Health First Aid course, which offers great tools to support your friends, team or colleagues. Find out more HERE.
