Sharing to support a fantatsic campaign.

It is time to shift the burden from the individual to society. Why do we expect the vulnerable to reach out? Silence is not always a choice. Hey Dan is a campaign to raise awareness about how we can support others. Dan was a great guy.

Iʼm raising money to Support Hey Dan, the initiative built in memory of my brother.. Support this JustGiving Crowdfunding Page.

Many Organisations invest in training but there is a gap – We focus on closing that gap.

Risk Mitigation, Manager Capability Gaps, Retention and Culture.
Things are said with good intentions but the language used can be wrong. Confidence, not knowledge is where most mental health first aid fails – Emotional Intelligence is the difference between hesitation and action. This is the missing link.

It is great to have been mentioned in the Emergency Medical Services World Publication (USA). It is important to address the Wellbeing of rescuers and potential rescuers.

Emotional intelligence in your agency can be increased with the right training.

Yesterday I went to the Etihad to learn about "Once a Blue" and the work that is taking place to support former players. It was an interesting afternoon.

Resuscitation Council UK Guidelines 2025.
It is good to see reference being made to First Aid courses in the 2025 guidelines, especially including measures to help bystanders, lay rescuers and professional first aid providers with emotional effects......

First aid courses should be accessible to the widest possible audience and promote equal opportunities in both providing and receiving first aid.

Course providers should tailor content based on the needs of participants, their context (low-resource settings, rural areas), sociocultural appropriateness and feasibility.

Courses should include measures to help bystanders, lay rescuers and professional first aid providers to overcome fear, anxiety and moral distress during and after providing first aid.

It will be interesting to see how trainers approach this. We include emotional intelligence in all our training and have developed a specific programme for this.

We are ready to start delivering the First Aid compliance training in partnership with English Karate NGO. Our bespoke programme satisfies EKNGO governance and compliance requirements.

Being taught a skill does not mean you have learnt it or that you have the confidence to use it.
