"We always think of physical help, but we don't necessarily think of people who are not well in their head": a student, a coach, and a computer engineer are just some of the people taking a first aid mental health class. The programme, which originated in Australia, was launched four years ago in France, where more than 30,000 first-aiders have already been trained. But with the rise of climate anxiety, or eco-anxiety, requests are pouring in. PSSM France (Mental Health First Aid, Eds.) aims to have 750,000 first aiders by 2028. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
