💚 We’re now over halfway through Mental Health Awareness Week.

As a leader, manager, or employer — have you checked in with your staff recently?

Sometimes the most important support can start with a simple conversation. Taking the time to ask someone how they’re really doing can make a huge difference.

Creating a workplace where people feel listened to, supported, and valued is more important than ever.

Remember, if your business needs any mental health training or first aid training, don’t hesitate to reach out to one of the team at Cookson First Aid — we’re always happy to help.

This week is Mental Health Week, and at Cookson First Aid we are reminded that mental wellbeing matters every day — not just during awareness campaigns.

Whether someone is experiencing good or poor mental health, everyone deserves to feel supported, understood, and equipped with the right tools to cope.

Have you considered mental health awareness training for your staff, volunteers, or service users?

We are proud to offer free mental health awareness sessions for school staff, charities, and community groups. These sessions are designed to build confidence, reduce stigma, and help create more supportive environments across organisations and communities.

If your organisation would benefit from this training, please get in touch to learn more or book a session.

Let’s continue working together to support one another and strengthen mental well-being in our communities 💚

🦸 Today is .

Forget the cape. Knowing what to do when a heart stops is what truly saves lives.

CPR. Defibrillator. You. That's your superpower.

Get trained. Be someone's hero. 💚

💔 **1 in 12.**

That's how many people survive an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Every year, ambulance services attend over 30,000 cardiac arrests outside of hospital. Fewer than 1 in 12 make it home.

That's not bad luck. It's about time.

More people can survive — but only if someone nearby acts fast. The ambulance is on its way. But *you* are already there.

🫀 Knowing CPR could be the difference between that person being a statistic — or going home to their family.

Cookson First Aid offer free CPR training to individuals and community groups. No experience needed. No cost. Just the skills that save lives. Drop us a message to find out more.**

We have had two fantastic days at Crawshaw Academy. The students showed huge levels of respect towards our trainers Richie and Jess.

Thanks so much for inviting us. We hope to work with you all again soon.

This box on a busy street could be the difference between life and death. ❤️‍🔥

Public defibrillators are everywhere — but do you know how to find one? Or use one?

Here’s what you need to know ↓

🔍 Find your nearest defib at defibfinder.uk

In an emergency ↓
📞 Call 999 — the operator will guide you through everything
👉 Open the case, turn it on, follow the voice instructions
👉 It will ONLY shock if it’s needed — you cannot hurt someone by using it

Every second counts in a cardiac arrest. Be the person who acts.

Save this post. Share it. It costs nothing and could save everything.

Are you a defib guardian?

We would really value your insight and experience for an upcoming project.

If you’d like to find out more or get involved, please get in touch with us at [email protected]

Your voice could help make a real difference ❤️
