However, Maddie soon discovers that Percy is uninterested in women, socializing, and intimate experiences, making her mission more challenging than anticipated.

There are many people going through things we don’t know about. So, while you sit through a Mental Health First Aid session, you realize that it is not easy to ask someone a question as simple as – why do you want to hurt yourself? This holds true for someone who doesn’t self-harm, as well.

Apparently among every five Americans, one of them has some form of mental health problem. You don’t know who is going through mental health problems. In fact, many adults were known to suffer from self-harm tendencies and depression. So, what should you do in a situation like this? Let’s find out.

Understanding MHFA

Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) was shaped by a mental health professor and a nurse in Australia, in 2000. It teaches people to notice the signs and the symptoms of different conditions and ways to talk to the person suffering from them. The price for this course ranges from $0 to $75. In the session, you watch a few videos showcasing people who are suffering from different mental disorders. You are then taught to look for the signs. A lot of information on psychology is crammed into a 3-4 hour session.

Asking ‘THE’ Question

While talking to mental health patients in a formal session, discussing the tough topics is inevitable. But talking to someone who you love is a lot different. There is always the fear of saying something wrong. This fear also makes many beat around the bush instead of asking the difficult question – Do you think about ending your life? However, if you dread this question, it might even make your loved one sense this feeling and make you wonder if you are even capable of handling the answer to this difficult question. The session teaches you to be calm and confident. This includes no fidgeting and keeping an open body language. You must listen attentively and sit by their side rather than across them.

Limitations

There are many questions being raised regarding MHFA’s effectiveness because there is no research that shows how people are benefitting from the attendees’ intervention. According to a study conducted at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, there was an almost 30% rise in awareness about mental health awareness and people taking confident steps to intervene after attending the MHFA session. However, there is no way to know if the steps taken were helpful or effective in any way. On the other hand, being equipped with knowledge is always a plus point. More people being aware of how to deal with someone going through mental health problems is always a good thing.
