Adult MHFA Refresher Classroom Course - Tuesday 14th January 2025

Course: Adult MHFA Refresher

Venue: Holte Hub, Villa Park, Trinity Road, Birmingham, B6 6HE

We believe that mental health should be treated equally to physical health – and just like physical first aid, Mental Health First Aid training should be kept up to date.

This four hour MHFA Refresher course will empower you to:

• Keep your awareness of mental health supports current
• Update your knowledge of mental health and what influences it
• Practice applying the Mental Health First Aid action plan

Once you have completed your MHFA Refresher course, you will be certified for three years and will be invited to become or stay a member of our Association of Mental Health First Aiders – making sure you have everything you need to feel confident when supporting others. ​

How often should MHFA England skills be refreshed?

Just like physical first aid, we recommend that Mental Health First Aiders and MHFA Champions attend a Refresher course every three years.

If it's time to refresh your skills, book onto an MHFA Refresher course now and feel confident that you are performing your vital role safely.

Please note that the MHFA Refresher is only for people who have completed an Adult Mental Health First Aider, MHFA Champion, or Armed Forces Mental Health First Aider course.

Learning:

This is a delivered face to face in a classroom environment.

Learning takes place through a mix of presentations, group discussions and workshop activities
