Overview

Adult Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) course is a practical skills and awareness course designed to equip learners with the skills and confidence to spot the triggers and signs of mental health issues, and provide support and signposting to self-help, or professional services.

The new online version of our course delivers the same evidence-based learning outcomes of the popular ‘face-to-face’ Adult MHFA Two Day course in an accessible and flexible online format. The course is structured around a blend of individual learning and live sessions. These are all conducted online via MHFA England’s new Online Learning Hub – an integrated learning platform. Learners who complete the course will be certified by Adult MHFA as Mental Health First Aiders. They will also receive a certificate on completion of the course.
