We utilise the acronym ‘ALGEE’ as a tool for providing mental health first aid:
1) Assess risk
2) Listen non-judgmentally
3) Give reassurance and information
4) Encourage appropriate professional help
5) Encourage self-help and other support strategies.
As seen in the acronym ALGEE, the emphasis is on providing initial support and signposting people to relevant services, rather than teaching individuals to become therapists.
