Introduction
First-aid for physical health is a concept we are familiar with. Trained volunteers are invaluable for protecting health. Often when we think of first-aid, we think of the example of CPR training. However, little attention is paid to the training of how we deal with psychological problems.
Given we live in a time of a worldwide pandemic, there is a lot of psychological distress, making it more necessary than ever to know how to (re)act. Therefore, we offer you this training in mental first-aid.
Training Structure
Certificate
Upon successful participation and passing of necessary tests, participants will receive a certificate according to HBO registration CRKBO.
