This open-access course is ideal for small businesses or sole traders who are looking to become Mental Health First Aiders and only runs on a limited basis throughout the year.

Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is a training course which teaches people how to identify, understand and help someone who may be experiencing a mental health issue.

MHFA won’t teach you to be a therapist, but it will teach you to listen, reassure and respond, even in a crisis – and even potentially stop a crisis from happening.

The course content is by Mental Health First Aid England, delivered by Flourish in Mind on behalf of Mind in Bradford.

You’ll learn to recognise warning signs of mental ill health and develop the skills and confidence to approach and support someone while keeping yourself safe.

You’ll also learn how to empower someone to access the support they might need for recovery or successful management of symptoms. This could include self-help books or websites, accessing therapy services through their GP, their school or place of work, online self-referral, support groups, and more.

What’s more, you’ll gain an understanding of how to support positive wellbeing and tackle stigma in the world around you.

We all have mental health, just as we all have physical health. Mental ill health can affect everyone. Being trained as a Mental Health First Aider is as important as being trained in physical first aid.

Although things are improving, stigma still exists around mental ill health. As a society, we don’t tend to know how to take care of our mental health like we do our physical health. This means that people may not know how to support a friend, family member or colleague experiencing a mental health issue, or where to go for help with their own mental health.

After becoming a MHFAider® with us you’ll have access to continuous support – well beyond your initial certification – so you are confident, empowered and motivated to carry out your role.

Including:

• Three years’ access to support and benefits
• 24/7 digital support through the MHFAider Support App®.
• Exclusive resources, ongoing learning opportunities and the benefit of joining England’s largest community of trained MHFAiders®.

If you have any questions regarding the training, please email [email protected].
