Mental Health First Aid
Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training courses teach people to spot the symptoms of mental health issues, offer initial help and guide a person towards support. Just like physical first aid, participants are taught to listen, reassure and respond, even in a crisis.
Mental health related absences cost UK employers an estimated £34 billion per year.
By skilling your organisation in MHFA you can:
-
Give your people the tools to keep themselves and their colleagues healthy
-
Encourage them to access support when it’s needed, for a faster recovery
-
Empower people with a long term mental health issue or disability to thrive in work
-
Stop preventable health issues arising by building a supportive culture around mental health
-
Embed positive, long term cultural change across your organisation
Training can be delivered online or onsite. I offer a variety of courses from mental health awareness to Mental Health First Aider:

All MHFA courses offered are written and certified by MHFA England.
Research and evaluation shows that MHFA courses make a lasting difference in people’s knowledge and confidence around mental health. They are written by experts, grounded in research, and tested by people with lived experience of mental ill health.
