A Mental Health First Aid Contact is a support person within Enklaavi whom you can turn to when something is troubling or concerning you. This person has completed Mieli ry’s Mental Health First Aid 2 course and knows how to meet people with listening, calmness, and respect. Their role is to provide low-threshold support, be present, listen, and help you find the next steps in your situation. A Mental Health First Aid Contact is not a therapist or crisis worker, but they can provide initial support and, if needed, guide you towards professionals or other appropriate services.

The aim is that no one is left alone with burdensome thoughts or worries, but that everyone has the opportunity to receive help in time.

In 2025, the Mental Health First Aid Contact is Mikaela Pekkarinen. You can reach her via Telegram @pekkarinenmikaela or by phone at 0452348782.
