BLUSH | HEALTH & FITNESS Shush... How we can talk about mental health. It is often assumed, as well as found in some studies that women are more emotionally expressive than men, but let’s face it, it isn’t always easy for anybody to open up a conversation about mental health. To begin with, where do we start? What if we say the wrong thing? What if the person we are talking to doesn’t want our help? What if it is us that needs the support? What if we burden them? Or offend them? There are so many questions that overwhelm us, to the point when an appropriate moment to approach someone about our own mental wellbeing or their mental health has gone... or worse still, we may actually bombard someone else with well-intended but unwelcome advice. Research shows that humans tend not to take advice from others; we either ask for it as a way of reaffirming our own opinion, or we don’t ask at all – because we don’t want advice, or we are not ready for it, or we are ashamed to tell others how we are really feeling... Do you relate to any of these scenarios? It doesn’t matter how relevant or well balanced the advice is, this type of information mostly comes from a subjective place based on the advisor’s experiences or knowledge, rather than the best option for the other person. With all the good intention, experience and expertise in the world, we can never completely know what somebody else is going through, in the way that they are personally going through it. So how can we help without giving advice? Well, the first thing to remember is that mental health is something we all need to be on top of... just like we are on top of our physical fitness. It is good to talk, but it is even better to LISTEN... and it is vital to approach any situation appropriately, because one of the biggest problems is recognising the symptoms of mental ill health and supporting a person to manage their condition or to point them in the direction of seeking the necessary professional help. As a Mental Health First Aider, you are not a qualified therapist, just like physical first aiders are not paramedics, but by following the Action Plan that is learnt during a Mental Health First Aid course, you can really make a difference to a lot of people. It is a simple process to become a Mental Health First Aider: 1 2 3 Visit the Mental Health First Aid courses, www.MHFAEngland.org Choose the right course for you... Attend the full course you apply for and you will be a Mental Health First Aider. You can do these courses as an individual, or get work colleagues on board so that your organisation can assign specific team members to the role of Mental Health First Aider, with the aim of having someone allocated in each department. There are also courses available for those working with youths and with the armed forces. Remember, mental ill health can affect anybody, so the more awareness on the subject, the better for everybody’s overall health and wellbeing. Just like if you are a physical first aider, you do not have to help, but what these courses do is raise awareness, reduce stigma, and shed light on your own mental health status. It is an ideal course to do if you are supporting somebody going through treatment, loss or trauma, as well as, if you are too, experiencing life challenges. 98 BLUSH | WINTER 2019 sevenstarmedia.co.uk
