Mental Health First Aid Course
2 days

Improving employee well-being mitigates workplace stress for the long-term success of your team. 

​

But a safe working environment is not just limited to physical safety. Ensuring the mental health and well-being of your employees is just as important as making sure they are physically safe.

 

Training Mental Health First Aiders (MHFAider®) for your workplace is a key way of making sure that you are prioritising staff mental health. This has wide-reaching benefits, both for your employees and for your company.

​

Mental health and burnout is costing the UK economy an estimated £28 billion. Having dedicated MHFAiders® in your organisation could help to ensure that your team get the help they need before they reach breaking point.

 

All workplace Mental Health First Aiders receive three years of certification, plus access to ongoing benefits.  

 

This course is ideal for staff at every level who would like to become MHFAiders® to gain the knowledge and skills to spot signs of people experiencing poor mental health, be confident to start a conversation and signpost a person to appropriate support.​ 

 

In addition to the course, your employees will become 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.
