Roundtable: How to enhance the safety and effectiveness of Mental Health First Aid networks

In this roundtable, Paul McGregor and Emily Langton will explore how organisations can ensure their Mental Health First Aid network operates safely, and translates into true organisational impact. Led as a 1-hour group discussion, we will bring together mid to senior-level HR, H&S and Wellbeing professionals.

During the discussion, we’ll examine the link between safety and effectiveness. Looking at why without supervision and clear professional boundaries in place, your supporters can end up carrying too much. And how this often has a ripple effect, impacting both engagement and the capability of the network.

Below is a brief outline of the agenda. If there are specific challenges or questions you would like us to address, please share them in advance.

Agenda highlights:

• Where the real risks sit, and the gaps that only show up after something goes wrong
• How supervision, escalation and boundaries protect your supporters
• Why trained networks go quiet, and what helps people use them
• What good governance looks like, and how to show it’s working without extra reporting

The roundtable will begin with brief introductions before Paul and Emily facilitate an open, sensitive conversation with all attendees.
