About this Event
Train as a certified Mental Health First Aider® and support those around you with confidence and compassion.
About Mental Health First Aid Training
In just four sessions, across two days, you will learn how to recognise signs of poor mental health, hold supportive and empathetic conversations, and guide individuals toward the help they need.
Led by experienced trainers, certified MHFA training equips you with essential skills—including active listening, boundary-setting, and selfcare practices—so you can provide effective initial support in your workplace, community, or volunteer role.
After completing the course, you’ll receive a three-year certification and exclusive membership to the Association of Mental Health First Aiders®. This includes access to the MHFAider Support App® (with 24/7 text support), ongoing learning resources, and a peer community sharing real, lived experiences.
🗓 Part One: 20 January 2026
🗓 Part Two: 21 January 2026
⏰ Time: 09:00 - 17:00
📍 Location: New Century House, NE8 1BF
*MHFA Training is delivered on behalf of MHFA England. To achieve your three-year certification you must attend your course dates in full.
At this time we are able to provide a special rate of £275, rather than the usual MHFA Training cost of £325. This is a limited time offer. Book now to secure your training at this price.
