Got A First Aid Accreditation

[BlueOrange]

After 3 months of being unable to work, I signed up for a 2-day course. I then attended the course, and did my 'start of the working day' ritual for the first time in ages, which I found very stressful.

Attended the course, contributed in ways that people seemed to appreciate. Spoke to the instructor about whether I should go on the instructor's course - not only was she supportive when I started the conversation, the next day, she reminded me to follow up on it, and to submit my appliction well in advance (the instructor course is typically booked out several months in advance).

So yeah, I am accredited by Mental Health First Aid as a first aid officer, and my application to go on the instructor's course has been accepted. Class is in October :)

Yep, I'm the kid you know that slaps their forehead and cracks up laughing, 10 mins after the joke was told ;)
