What is ALGEE?

4/4/2018

5 Comments

 
I love chatting with Suzanne Witt-Foley. We were talking about mental health first aid…
and ALGEE! I asked Suzanne to explain; (full description of ALGEE below)

Suzanne: In mental health first aid, we learn a set of action steps, a "toolkit" for helping people to feel confident, comfortable and to be successful in supporting someone else.

Yvonne: In supporting you don’t have to fix it, you don’t have to be a professional!
It’s about being that community, that village for people! I think it’s just as important
as learning CPR or first aid.

Suzanne: One in three people will struggle with a mental health issue at some
point in their lives. So if it’s not you, it’s a loved one, a friend, someone close to you or
a colleague. We take CPR and value it because we might save a life. With Mental Health
First Aid you use it all the time and you could also save a life!


Yvonne: Very powerful! I’m honoured to share the following information to
learn more about Suzanne:

Hunters Bay Radio show I Just Showed Up on April 7th (then available on podcast).

Anxiety Warrior Event on April 8th in Bracebridge.
*Elke Scholz wrote Anxiety Warrior  and Anxiety Warrior 2.
Suzanne and I each contributed a chapter in the first book.
Suzanne will be sharing information on MHFA at the event.

Suzanne was a guest on my Roger’s TV Show, Real Life Talks​

Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is the help provided to a person developing
a mental health problem, experiencing the worsening of an existing mental
health problem or in a mental health crisis. Just like physical first aid is
provided until medical treatment can be obtained, MHFA is given until appropriate support is found or until the crisis is resolved.

 
You can make a difference!

This information was some of the best I ever learned to support a loved one who was ready to end their life. The way I just showed up by turning 'toward' rather than 'away' did save a life. Mental Health First Aid program is SOOOO worth learning!!! Love that you do this work Suzanne!
