What is Mental Health First Aid?

Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is an internationally recognized training course designed to equip managers and staff with the skills to identify the signs and symptoms of mental ill health. The course focuses on teaching participants how to provide initial support, offer reassurance, and guide individuals to the appropriate help they may need, functioning as a form of mental health first aid.

MHFA does not aim to train participants to become therapists. Instead, much like physical first aid, it focuses on teaching participants how to listen, reassure, and respond effectively, even in crisis situations.

All our Mental Health First Aid courses are delivered by accredited MHFA Instructors who are registered with MHFA England. The Mental Health First Aid Instructor course itself is accredited by the Royal Society for Public Health, ensuring that the training meets high standards of quality and effectiveness.

As a business leader and team manager, I regularly find myself coming in to contact with people who are being affected by mental ill health. The 2 day MHFA course was great; it gave me insight in to the issues and tools to help me talk to people in the right way. As a business, we are new defining and clarifying our Mental Health Policy. Don't think too hard about this course, just sign up, you have everything to gain

This was such a useful course, I have already been able to apply what I have learnt in several situations both in my personal life and at work. It was quite intensive over a couple of days and involved a fair bit of home reading. The resources provided are excellent as was the course organisation. Dawn the instructor was lovely and really engaged all the participants who came from a large variety of backgrounds. The course had been really well adapted to the online format. I would thoroughly recommend.
