Initially advertised as a 2-day face-to-face training course, we are delighted to offer this course as an online training opportunity run by Mental Health First Aid England instructors. 

This online course is split into 4 manageable sessions which are built around the Mental Health First Aid action plan. Learning takes place through a mix of presentations, group discussions and workshop activities. There will also be independent study work between sessions and tutors will be available to support you through these.

At the end of the 4 sessions, you will receive:

• A certificate of attendance to say you are a Mental Health First-Aider
• A manual to refer to whenever you need it
• A quick reference card for the Mental Health First Aid action plan
• A helpful toolkit to support your own mental health

The course will provide an in-depth understanding of mental health and the factors that can affect well-being, the practical skills to spot the triggers and signs of mental health issues and the confidence to step in, reassure and support a person in distress.

It will also help develop the enhanced interpersonal skills such as non-judgemental listening and build the knowledge to help someone recover their health by guiding them to further support – whether that’s self-help resources, through their employer, the NHS, or a mix.
