About this event
At a Glance
This is not just another online course. It’s live, interactive Mental Health First Aid training designed for people who want to make a real difference — at work, at home, and in their community.
If you care about the wellbeing of your loved ones, your colleagues, or your team — keep reading. This training could be the most important investment you make this year.
Why This Training Matters More Than Ever
Rising energy bills. Talk of more tax hikes. Companies cutting back — not replacing staff who leave. Quiet quitting. Quiet firing. The uncertainty of AI and job security. Tensions in the UK rising over immigration and politics.
All of this creates stress, anxiety, and discontent in workplaces, families, and communities.
Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs) are great for the organisations that can afford them — but the majority don’t have access.
So what happens then? People wait weeks for a GP appointment. They trail through the internet. They even ask ChatGPT for advice — and sometimes get results that are unhelpful or inappropriate.
Would you rather rely on chance… or would you prefer to be trained with the skills to respond confidently, safely, and effectively when it matters most?
A Life Skill for Work and Home
Mental Health First Aid training is more than a qualification — it’s a life skill.
Just like physical first aid, it’s something you carry with you everywhere:
- Spot early warning signs
- Step in with confidence, not fear
- Support someone and guide them to help
- Shape a more supportive home, workplace, or community
MHFA England gives you the confidence to respond in the moments that matter most, wherever they happen.
DIY vs Done With You
Some people go down the do-it-yourself route: they buy a cheap online course, watch a few videos, and hope for the best.
But mental health isn’t a tick-box exercise. In a real crisis, DIY knowledge won’t cut it.
You can’t outsource this either — there’s no such thing as “done for you” when it comes to being there for your team, friends, or family.
That’s why this training is done with you: live, interactive, guided step by step, with practice, support, and a network that continues long after the course.
When someone turns to you in crisis, you don’t want to guess. You want to know.
What You’ll Learn
- Spot the early warning signs of poor mental health
- Step in with confidence, not fear
- Support someone and guide them to the right help
- Shape a more supportive home, workplace, or community
Spaces are limited to small groups to maximise interaction and practice.

What Learners Say
“The MHFA course was empowering and transformative. Mike’s teaching made it real, relatable, and safe. I walked away with skills I’ll use for life.”
The Elephant in the Room — Let’s Talk Price
“I’ve seen online mental health courses for under £100 — why is this different?”
Here’s the truth:
- Those are pre-recorded, self-study courses
- No live instructor, no real discussion, no safe environment to practise
- No nationally recognised MHFA England accreditation
This training is different.
- Live, interactive, and instructor-led
- Delivered by an award-winning consultant with 20+ years’ experience
- Grounded in research, best practice, and real-life application
- Backed by organisations like the NHS, Zurich Insurance, and Shelter
- Join a supported national network of Mental Health First Aiders
- Receive 3 years of ongoing support and resources via the MHFA England Support App
- Direct access to me for questions and queries, plus my monthly newsletters and social media insights — so your learning continues long after the course
Yes, it’s a premium investment. But ask yourself this: what value do you put on your health, your loved ones, or your team?
Because your health is your wealth, and when it comes to mental health, getting it wrong could cost far more than the price of this course.

Book Your Place Today
Spaces are deliberately limited — because real learning happens in small groups. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.
Secure your place today. Become the person your loved ones, colleagues, and community can count on in a crisis.
P.S.
Someone you care about is silently struggling right now. When the moment comes, you’ll want to be the person who knows what to do.
