What Makes IAMH Different?
In today’s interconnected world, mental health support is more crucial than ever. As organisations strive to foster healthy workplaces, the need for effective mental health first aid training that transcends cultural and geographical boundaries has become apparent. This is where International Advocate for Mental Health (IAMH) sets itself apart. The world’s first accredited and globally inclusive workplace mental health advocate programme, offers a unique, globally consistent, and culturally inclusive approach to mental health training.
Emphasising Cultural Awareness and Inclusivity
One of the primary distinctions of IAMH is its strong emphasis on cultural awareness. While many mental health courses predominantly adopt Western perspectives on mental health, IAMH acknowledges and integrates non-Westernised approaches. This inclusive framework ensures that mental health support is culturally sensitive and relevant, recognising the diverse beliefs and practices that influence mental wellbeing across different communities.
By incorporating various cultural perspectives, IAMH equips participants with the skills to effectively support individuals from all backgrounds. This is particularly important in our increasingly diverse societies where understanding and respecting cultural differences can significantly enhance the effectiveness of mental health support.
Available Worldwide in All Languages
A standout feature of IAMH is its global availability. The course can be delivered in any country and any language, making it truly universal. This flexibility allows organisations to provide culturally relevant mental health training to their employees, regardless of their location. Simply specify the required location and language when booking, and the IAMH team will handle the rest.
Addressing Psychosocial Risk Awareness and Safeguarding
IAMH goes beyond traditional mental health training by addressing psychosocial risk awareness and safeguarding procedures. This comprehensive approach ensures that participants are not only equipped to provide immediate mental health support but also to identify and mitigate potential risks. This proactive stance on mental health encourages a safer and more supportive environment for all employees.
Specialised Training in Virtual Support
In today’s digital age, geographical location should not be a barrier to receiving mental health support. IAMH provides specialised training in virtual support, ensuring that help is accessible regardless of where individuals are located. This aspect is crucial for global organisations with teams spread across different regions, allowing consistent and effective mental health support.
Global Consistency in Training
Unlike other mental health first aid courses that may either vary by region, or not be available at all in certain regions, IAMH offers standardised support and resources across all territories. This global consistency means that no matter where your team is located, they will all receive the same high-quality mental health training. This uniformity is essential for multinational organisations aiming to implement cohesive mental health strategies across their global workforce.
Broad Eligibility and Accessibility
IAMH is designed to be inclusive and accessible to a wide range of participants. Whether you are new to a role as a Mental Health Advocate, Wellbeing Ambassador, Champion, or First Aider, or seeking to enhance your existing knowledge, IAMH caters to all levels of experience. Even those who are already qualified mental health advocates can benefit from IAMH by refreshing their skills and renewing their qualifications. This inclusivity ensures that anyone, regardless of their professional background or previous experience, can contribute to promoting mental wellbeing in their community.
Why Choose IAMH?
IAMH’s ability to deliver training in every country worldwide ensures that the skills and knowledge gained are transferable across borders, eliminating the need for region-specific retraining.
