Mental Health First Aid
Course
What is Mental Health First Aid?
​
-
Mental Health First Aid is an internationally recognised training course which teaches people how to spot the signs and symptoms of mental ill health and provide help on a first aid basis.
-
Mental Health First Aid won’t teach you to be a therapist, but just like physical first aid, it will teach you to listen, reassure and respond, even in a crisis.
Why become a Mental Health First Aider?
​
-
Mental health issues are common, 1 in 4 people will experience issues in any one year.
-
Stress, anxiety and depression are the biggest cause of sickness absence in our society.

The impact the course has is amazing!
​
If there had been a Mental Health First Aider in the workplace when I was experiencing mental health issues, I believe the early intervention would've helped me to start my journey to recovery sooner. Having the ability to approach someone with confidence is invaluable.
