Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) teaches people how to give initial mental health care until professional treatment is accessed. It also helps to dispel fears some people have when coming across someone who seems to be experiencing mental ill health.
Our MHFA courses have input from co-trainers with lived experience of mental health problems.
This online course trains you as a Youth Mental Health First Aider, giving you:
An in-depth understanding of young people’s mental health and factors that affect wellbeing
