Sudden exposure to public attention may lead to intrusive scrutiny of an individual’s past and result in negative and sometimes hostile comment via social media and can be extremely stressful and damaging particularly to young or vulnerable contributors.

First Option can provide further advice on managing mental health, psychological first aid training or access to specialists to assist productions.  We can deliver accredited and non-accredited psychological first aid training for levels 1 (Awareness of First Aid for Mental Health), level 2 (First Aid for Mental Health) and level 3 (Supervising First Aid for Mental Health) as well as offering specialist psychologist support for your production.
