What is Mental Health First Aid?
MHFA teaches people how to spot the signs and symptoms of mental ill health and provide help on a first aid basis.
MHFA England training won’t teach people to be therapists, but just like physical first aid, it will teach them to listen, reassure and respond, even in a crisis.
What’s included in Mental Health First Aid training:
Learning takes place through a mix of group activities, presentations, and discussions to provide:
- A deeper understanding of mental health and the factors that can affect people’s wellbeing, including your own
- Practical skills to spot the triggers and signs of mental health issues
- Confidence to step in, reassure and support a person in distress
- Enhanced interpersonal skills such as non-judgemental listening
- Knowledge to help someone recover their health by guiding them to appropriate support
All participants will receive a course manual, pocket mental health guide and certificate upon completion of the training.
