Many businesses understand the positive impact that having fully trained Mental Health First Aiders has in the workplace. In addition to Workplace Training and one-to-one therapy sessions we also train Mental Health First Aiders in Wales and England
What is Mental Health First Aider Training?
- MentaI Health First Aid (MHFA) is a training course which teaches people how to identify, understand and help someone who may be experiencing a mental health issue.
- MHFA won’t teach you to be a therapist, but it will teach you to listen, reassure and respond, even in a crisis – and even potentially stop a crisis from happening.
- You’ll learn to recognise warning signs of mental ill health and develop the skills and confidence to approach and support someone while keeping yourself safe.
- You’ll also learn how to empower someone to access the support they might need for recovery or successful management of symptoms. This could include self-help books or websites, accessing therapy services through their GP, school or place of work, online self-referral, support groups and more.
- What’s more you’ll gain an understanding of how to support positive wellbeing and tackle stigma in the world around you.
