Online Virtual Delivery
We 'VIRTUALLY' cannot wait to deliver our courses...
Our MHFA England accredited Mental Health Awareness and Refresher courses are now being delivered via a virtual classroom. Our instructor, Simon, will ensure a safe environment is maintained throughout.
​
We are utilising Zoom or your preferred software to deliver the courses remotely. Offering an opportunity to support your team's development during these times.
Mental Health Courses
​
Our aim is to deliver the courses with an openness that creates a safe environment to de-stigmatise, humanise and simplify our perceptions of mental health.
To develop our understanding and strength, enabling us to be ready when we approach or are approached by someone in a crisis.
To ask, 'how are you?' and be patient, allow thought and build trust, then provide the information to start their journey of recovery.
​
We promise to challenge you on the courses, to be inclusive and to ensure the courses are appropriately fun.

The impact the courses have 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.
