Mental Health First Aid Training

If you want to become a mental health first aider or champion, please apply using this form.
The course 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.

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.
The MHFA First Aider course is a two-day course and will take place on the 29th and 30th July ( you must attend both days).

The MHFA Champions course is one-day and will take place on the 15th of July.
Both courses will be held in person at Chilcomb.
