MHFA

Healthy workplaces are crucial to the mental health of employees. 72 million days are lost each year to mental ill-health in the UK, costing employers up to £45 billion per year. Having employee wellbeing as part of your people strategy just makes sense.

Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training is a great place to start.

The What

The 2 Day Mental Health First Aid course* gives attendees skills that save lives. It:

  • Is a comprehensive understanding of mental health; specific illnesses and signs to look for, up to date language and lots of resources to support them upon completion
  • Empowers people to deliver appropriate initial support before professional medical treatment is available
  • equips people with better coping tools for themselves and when supporting friends, family, colleagues and the public
  • helps people recognise poor mental health and have difficult conversations honestly and comfortably; employees are supported earlier before sick leave is taken
  • integrates wellbeing into the culture of teams and organisations
  • is relevant for all levels and is the only course that qualifies individuals as mental health first aiders, allowing a sustained organisational approach towards improving mental health
The Why

You get to be part of the solution, not the problem. A healthy workplace allows you to:

  • Retain staff and have less absence or presenteeism
  • Increase profit and give you a measurable ROI
  • Connect your people and improve culture
  • Enhance your employer brand
  • Mitigate risk

And most importantly:

It just makes sense and it’s the right thing to do

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT MHFA

Testimonials

Our new team member attended your 2 day MHFA training. Not only did she thoroughly enjoy the delivery and informative sessions, this additional knowledge has given her so much more confidence and insight into her role. We will definitely be booking the same training, with you, for any new teams members in the future!

Tina

I have learnt so much and feel better equipped in understanding mental health, and how it manifests in different stages. They answered all of the questions, and made me feel safe to share any vulnerabilities, and experiences. A great course and have recommended it to everyone I know so far!

Mel

Really great course covering issues that I believe are often overlooked. (Typically you would complete a physical first aid course, however, this seems more "modern" as it feels more relevant to the issues of today). It can be quite overwhelming when you can identify an issue that needs to be approached, but you don't quite know how to approach it/resolve/who to refer to. I am leaving this course with an increased knowledge of mental health and improved confidence in how I would react when trying to resolve an issue.
