Mental Health First Aid

Since July 2022, 19 FH staff members are trained mental health first responders. They act as a contact point for all members of the FH Upper Austria in matters of mental health.

They are available and can be contacted at any time via email, phone, MS Teams chat, or in person.

Mental health first responders offer low-level mental health care and one-on-one conversations. If necessary, the mental health frst responders will refer you to a further contact person, organization, or institution. “First aid for the soul“ does not replace coaching or a discussion with therapists or psychologists, but it can precede it. Furthermore, first responders can provide support for mental health in crisis situations.
