Mental Health First Aid Course

People in difficulty or distress often find it challenging to open up because of the stigma associated with mental health issues or fear of being treated differently. A trained Mental Health First Aider can break down those initial barriers, have genuine non-judgemental conversations, provide relief and appropriate support, and signpost pathways to pursue further help.

During this course, your team will build knowledge and awareness of mental health, learn to recognise the signs and symptoms of common mental health issues, and understand how stigma can be a barrier to open conversations in the workplace.
