Mental Health Refresher Course
1/2 day

Just like physical first aid, we recommend that MHFAiders® attend a Refresher course every three years.  

We believe that mental health should be treated equally to physical health – and just like physical first aid, Mental Health First Aid training should be kept up to date.  

 

During this half-day existing workplace Mental Health First Aiders who were certified 3 years ago or more, can refresh their skills and update their knowledge. They will receive three years of certification, plus access to ongoing benefits.  

 

Poor mental health costs UK employers up to £56 billion a year (Deloitte). Having mental health first aiders in your organisation brings a supportive and empathetic workplace culture. Trained individuals can identify and address mental health challenges, reducing stigma, promoting early intervention, and contributing to overall employee well-being. This investment enhances employee morale, productivity, and organizational resilience.

In addition to the course, your employees will continue to be part of the largest MHFAider® community in England, gaining access to resources, ongoing learning and 24/7 digital support through our MHFAider Support App®, to give them the tools and knowledge they need to carry out their role effectively and confidently.
