Mental Health First Aiders (MHFAs) 

We will work with accredited railway industry MHFAs to support them in their role. Mental Health First Aiders spot the signs and symptoms of mental ill health and provide help on a first aid basis. Our role in Head-shunt is to support the MHFAs in their work in their respective rail company(s).

 

   We will support them through 

         Our attendance at events they may run and/or involve them with events we operate

         Creation of a virtual Head-shunt network for support and ideas sharing amongst railway MHFAs

         Through provision of materials (written or visual) to help them

​

Shared Lived Experiences

We will provide a platform whereby those who have experienced less-good mental health are willing to share their experiences and help inspire others to seek or offer help
