Course Overview
Course Dates

Course Aim: This two day course qualifies you as a Mental Health First Aider.

Course Knowledge:

Mental Health First Aiders have:

- An in depth understanding of mental health and the factors that can affect wellbeing
- Practical skills to spot the triggers and signs of mental health issues
- Confidence to step in, reassure and support a person in distress
- Enhanced interpersonal skills such as non-judgemental listening
- Knowledge to help someone recover their health by guiding them to further support – whether that’s self-help resources, through their employer, the NHS, or a mix

We limit numbers to 12 people per course so that the instructor can keep people safe and supported while they learn.

Training Methods and Certification:

Through a mix of group activities, presentations and discussions, each session is built around a Mental Health First Aid action plan. Everyone who completes the course gets an MHFA manual to keep and refer to whenever they need it, and a certificate from Mental Health First Aid England to say they are a Mental Health First Aider.

You’ll also get a copy of the Line Managers’ Resource, an invaluable source of advice on how to support an employee experiencing mental ill health. Although there will be no expiry date on your certificate, MHFA England recommends that you re-sit the course every three years in order to keep yourself up to date with knowledge and techniques.

The course either has new dates in data loading, or is only run as a dedicated or In Company course.
