Mental Health First Aiders are crucial to helping boost employee wellbeing as we adjust to a profoundly changed workplace environment. But while Mental Health First Aiders work to support others, they need support, too." Mental Health England

Aims and Objectives

• Mental Health First Aid Awareness is a training course which teaches people how to identify, understand and help someone who may be experiencing a mental health issue.
• MHFA won’t teach you to be a therapist, but it will teach you to listen, reassure and respond, even in a crisis – and even potentially stop a crisis from happening.
• You’ll learn to recognise warning signs of mental ill health, and develop the skills and confidence to approach and support someone while keeping yourself safe.
• You’ll also learn how to empower someone to access the support they might need for recovery or successful management of symptoms. This could include self-help books or websites, accessing therapy services through their GP, their school or place of work, online self-referral, support groups, and more.
• What’s more, you’ll gain an understanding of how to support positive wellbeing and tackle stigma in the world around you.

COURSE FEE: £125 per person or accredited through EFR £175 per person
