This is daft. First aid is usually something simple, like a cut or a burn or, if it's serious, doing something like CPR or putting someone in the recovery position and waiting for an ambulance to arrive. Very simple, basic stuff because these first aiders aren't medics. What's the equivalent for mental health? Someone looks miserable so you try and cheer them up? Ask them personal questions?

Sounds like a recipe for disaster. Really can't see how this type of thing can be dispensed by unqualified people, no matter how well intentioned.
