STS COVID-19 Webinar Programme:
Mental First Aid - Knowing the Basics
STS COVID-19 Webinar Programme
To help members during this time of lock down, STS is putting on a programme of online webinars on areas of interest expressed by members through our education survey. To keep sessions accessible they are completely free, are normally only an hour long and run in the early evening so members still working can access them.
This Session
Webinar: Mental First Aid - Knowing the Basics
Date: 22 September 2020
Time: 6pm
About This Session
Mental health is something we all need to take care of because just like our physical health there are times when this is better and times when it is not in the shape we would like it to be.
As part of the STS family, it is important we look out for each other. This online course will provide a very basic level of helping to understand mental health, what signs to look out for, and what action you can take, whether it is for yourself, friends and family, or a club member.
As with our physical first aid course, this workshop is being delivered by Bruce Jenner, a trained paramedic but with over 20 years of military and target shooting experience and we are working with Bruce to develop a full course for shooters to be delivered in person, when circumstances allow. However, for now, this session is aimed at informing you about some of the basics and provide an opportunity to answer any questions you may have.
STS is extremely excited to work with Bruce to develop a series of sessions focusing on both physical and mental health, delivered by someone with both medical training and shooting experience to make sure the content is appropriate but there is also a great knowledge of the sport to help with some of the more specific questions and scenarios that shooters and target shooting clubs can come across.
