Following David's own lived experience of poor mental health, the Assistant Site Manager for Bellway Homes became a Mental Health First Aider, motivated by a desire to help others in the construction industry. Not only has he found others in the industry who are equally passionate about mental health, but David can now collaborate and connect with likeminded individuals as a member of the Association of Mental Health First Aiders® – the largest community of its kind. Read David's story and hear more about how he uses his MHFAider® skills, here: https://brnw.ch/21wM8Am #AOMHFA #MentalHealthFirstAid #MentalHealthTraining #MentalHealthAtWork (Image description: On the left, a quote on a blue background from David, an Assistant Site Manager, says: "The most enjoyable part was finding more people in my industry who were passionate about mental health and could see how important it was and wanting to do something about it. It was also interesting to see how many people it was affecting on a day-to-day basis." A pink label above the quote says: Testimonial.
