Staff from Staffordshire Police and Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service have trained and qualified as mental health first aiders.
Representatives from both services have completed a two-day course in recent weeks, learning about the signs and symptoms of common workplace mental health issues and how to effectively guide colleagues towards the appropriate support.
The training covers a range of topics including: the roles and responsibilities of a mental health first aider, recognising stress and how to support a colleague who may be experiencing stress, as well as recognising and understanding self-harm and eating disorders.
