Vocal Health First Aider

I am delighted to announce that i am now a qualified Vocal Health First Aider.

What is Vocal Health First Aid?

• An understanding of vocal health and the factors that can affect vocal wellbeing

• Practical skills to spot the signs of a range of vocal dysfunction and imbalance

• Knowledge to help someone towards recovery by:

• Guiding them in self-management, or

• Passing them on to further support, whether that is specialist vocal rehabilitation coaching or clinical treatment

• An understanding of how to prevent vocal health issues from occurring in the workplace

Every theatre company and educational establishment in the UK is required by law to have a qualified first aider and to train their staff in safeguarding. With the rising need for Mental Health First Aid training, we suggest that on a similar level, Vocal Health First Aid is included as a routine qualification within these institutions.
