Mental Health First Aid Course

The Mental Health First Aid course is two days long.

Anyone who wants to become an adult mental first aider should attend this course. The course will give you various skills that will help you provide support to those who need it.

By having the skills to spot the signs of poor mental health, you could potentially stop their issues from becoming worse or even save a life in severe circumstances.

You will also gain the skill of active listening, which will not only help in mental health-related circumstances but in everyday life. Non-judgmental listening is a key trait to have and can be highly transferable.

The minimum requirement for entry is that the delegate can understand, write and speak English well.

PLEASE NOTE: The tutor will cover some sensitive subjects which some delegates may find disturbing.

This course is accredited by MHFA England, and one of their instructors delivers this course.
