Mental Health First Aid Full Course

Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training, MHFAiders® is an internationally recognised training course which teaches people how to spot the signs and symptoms of mental ill health — and to provide help on a first aid basis.

MHFA does not teach you to diagnose or treat conditions or provide counselling. But, as with physical first aid, you will learn how to respond in on a first level support and look after the person until they can access professional help.

It also addresses mental health stigma and promotes early intervention and positive wellbeing.

The course is split into four sessions and covers an overview of some mental health conditions, how to follow and apply the MHFAiders® action plan, MHFA conversations, recovery and relevant resources to assist, boundaries in the role and moving forward in the MHFAider role.

As an MHFAider® you’ll also have access to ongoing learning to support you in the role and ensure you have the most up-to-date information on mental health.

Each delegate will get direct access to a fully qualified First Aid for MHFAiders® Trainer throughout, along with access to the learning hub, an in-depth interactive workbook and toolkit to complete tasks during each session.
