Adult MHFA 2-Day Course

Become a certified Mental Health First Aider

Learn how to identify, understand, and help somebody experiencing a mental health challenge.

Mental Health First Aid is an accredited, evidence-based course which teaches people how to identify, understand and help a person who may be developing a mental health issue.

In the same way as we learn physical first aid, Mental Health First Aid enables you to recognise those early warning signs of mental ill health and offer that crucial initial support.

You'll learn how to:

• Spot the early signs of a mental health problem
• Feel confident helping someone experiencing a mental health problem
• Provide help on a first aid basis
• Help prevent someone from hurting themselves or others
• Help stop a mental illness from getting worse
• Help someone recover faster
• Guide someone towards the right support
• Reduce the stigma of mental health problems

The MHFA Standard course usually takes place over 2 full days.

At the end of the course…

You'll receive a MHFA Standard manual that you can take away with you and also an attendance certificate from MHFA England to say you are now Mental Health First Aider.
