Mental Health First Aid

Two days of training for an in-depth look at mental health and the common conditions, including depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, self-harm and schizophrenia. We also explore suicide and crisis intervention. The training is evidence-based, grounded in research and designed to be easily digested and incredibly thought-provoking.

​

The MHFA programme is practised worldwide, and certification is recognised in over 25 countries.  Upon completing the two day MHFA course, learners become a Mental Health First Aider (MHFAider®) and join a community over 5 million people worldwide who have trained in MHFA skills.

 

The training gives a thorough understanding of the risk and protective factors effecting mental health and the skills to spot, support and signpost someone who is experiencing a developing mental health issue. Time is also spent enhancing conversation and listening skills, giving the confidence to offer support even in a crisis situation. Very importantly, we also look in-depth at self-care and boundaries of the MHFAider® role so that Mental Health First Aiders can be safe and confident in their role whilst keeping themselves well.
