Course Overview
Our two day course certifies you as a Mental Health First Aider. Through a mix of group activities, presentations and discussions, each session is built around a Mental Health First Aid action plan.
Everyone who completes the course gets an MHFA manual to keep and refer to whenever they need it, and a certificate to say they are a Mental Health First Aider. Please note, Mental Health First Aiders are required to complete Mental Health refresher training every three years for their certificate to remain valid. Please enquire for more information on this option.
We limit numbers to 16 people per course so that the instructor can keep people safe and supported while they learn.
Please note, this course can be delivered as virtual instructor led training (VILT), face to face, or it can be delivered with a blend of both formats. We will customise the content and duration in line with your learning and development requirements.
