Accredited Mental Health First Aid training offered to APS Bank employees
January 17, 2023

As part of its employee wellness initiatives, the APS Bank Career Development team recently organised Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training for staff members. 14 employees followed the MHFA course leading to accreditation as Mental First Aiders, while another 28 staff members followed the MHFA training course. Mental Health training was organised and delivered by qualified professionals from the Richmond Foundation.
The MHFA courses are a collection of widely recognised and evidence-based training programmes that equip people with the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to support a friend, family member, or colleague struggling with mental health challenges.
Peter Gatt, Employer Branding Manager, commented, “The Bank is committed to support the health and wellbeing of its employees through various initiatives and programmes. Mental health training and awareness complements these initiatives as well as our Employee Assistance Programme, whereby staff members may attend counselling and therapy sessions, to assist in mental health challenges.”
