Mental Health First Aid Requirement

I want every Local Authority to have someone who is trained up in Mental Health First Aid.

Why is this important?

When vulnerable people attend civic offices for meetings this can be stressful, there could be difficulties during the day which means the service user feels low and we need to show them support when it's needed and not to eject them from the building or just call Police/London Ambulance Service.

This will extend a duty of care and show equality for those who suffer with mental health issues if they are In a vulnerable position.
