Aico, the residential Fire and Carbon Monoxide protection product company, and the Electrical Industries Charity (EIC) are joining forces to help towards understanding of mental health awareness.
The alarm product company will be taking to the road with its mobile demonstration unit and visiting Bradford to provide a resource and support for the EIC. This will be with a view to coming back in 2020 with a calendar of mental health awareness training sessions, working with Aico’s Expert Installer Training Scheme.
Aico and the EIC say there are many reasons why mental health training is so important; these include ensuring that you have a healthier workplace, improvement of staff morale and an increase in staff engagement and commitment. The sessions are designed to give an understanding of what mental health is and how to challenge the stigma. The sessions will provide a basic knowledge of some common mental health issues, give confidence to support someone who is in distress and educate regarding how to look after your own mental health.
Aico says it’s proud to be supporting the work of the EIC and has provided support for the charity for years, including raising money via charity events such as the Aico Masquerade Ball, Powerball’s and Big Build Project. Visit www.aico.co.uk.
