Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is a training program designed to teach individuals how to provide initial support to someone who may be experiencing a mental health crisis or showing signs of mental health issues. The various mental health & wellbeing courses aim to increase mental health literacy, reduce stigma surrounding mental health, and equip individuals with the skills to offer assistance until professional help is available.
For more information on any of our mental health training courses, please visit our Mental Health & Wellbeing course page.
You can read more information about Mental Health First Aid in our Ultimate Guide to Mental Health and Wellbeing.
Prior to attendance at a Mental Health First Aid course, it is recommended that organisations consider the suitability of learner(s) to carry out a mental health first aider role. The role of a mental health first aider and attendance at the course will involve a range of discussions and resources related to mental health issues and illnesses.
MHFA is beneficial for anyone who wants to gain skills to help someone in a mental health crisis, including teachers, parents, healthcare professionals, and community leaders.
