ActNow: mental health crisis response

This critical training program deals with managing mental health crises at work (e.g. depressive episodes, breakdowns, panic attacks) and extreme emotional responses (e.g. when someone receives terrible news at work). It explains acute mental illness responses and how you can best help manage those affected until help arrives in the form of an ambulance or the person’s family member. It covers managing alcohol and drug related incidents, psychotic episodes, trauma and grief responses and keeping people safe, as well as information about looking after yourself post-incident.
