MHFA Two Day Course - F2F - Sheffield

MHFA Two-Day Course

Welcome to our Mental Health First Aid (MHFA England) Two Day Course!

Mental Health First Aid is a training course which teaches people how to identify, understand and help someone who may be experiencing a mental health issue.

Our MHFA course 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.
