This psychology and self-help book serves as an essential guide for Mental Health First Aiders, offering support and knowledge on how to provide initial help to someone developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis. The manual addresses common mental health challenges such as depression, anxiety, psychosis, substance use, and gambling issues. It also covers various mental health crises, including suicidal thoughts and behaviours, self-harm, panic attacks, trauma responses, severe psychotic episodes, intense substance-related effects, and aggressive behaviour.

Offering mental health first aid is most effective when others first notice signs of a mental health issue in someone within their family, social circle, or professional network. This psychology book also offers helpful insights for assisting individuals with a history of mental illness or long-term mental health conditions, making it a valuable resource for supporting mental well-being.
