About the course:

Mental Health First Aid training is the only evidenced-based course of its kind. The course is grounded in early intervention and prevention approaches known to significantly improve recovery rates and health outcomes. The two-day course increases awareness and confidence, enabling conversations that guide people to seek effective help sooner.

What you will learn

• Mental Health First Aid (MHFA®) 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.
