Mental Health First Aid
The last few years have been hard on everyone. Amidst a global pandemic, economic uncertainty, and changes to the ways we work, the need to support everyone’s mental health and wellbeing is greater than ever. 
MHFAiders® gain the knowledge and skills to spot the signs of a person experiencing poor mental health, the confidence to start a conversation and the tools to signpost to appropriate support
Train your people as Mental Health First Aiders (MHFAiders®) and they’ll get three years of MHFAider® Support and Benefits to help them feel empowered and confident in their role

What our newly qualified Mental Health First Aiders say:
​
"Excellent course. Informative and brilliant instructor. Supplied with a manual/guide for further information"
​
"Tracy was excellent, to have someone who has been there, seen it and done it and to openly discuss her own issues made the two days even better. She knew when to rain us in when we went off the subject, but allowed us to openly discuss our own experiences related to mental health. It was a difficult but enjoyable two days and I think Tracy made the difference, especially moving us all around so that we all worked with different members of the group, thank you."
​
"Tracey was so lovely and engaging - we all learned loads and feel very empowered after the course. It was a great experience and still every interactive even online - I have done the course in person before."
