Mental Health First Aid - Adults Adults Refresher Youth Mental Health First Aid

 

MHFA came to England in 2007 and was launched under the Department of Health: National Institute of Mental Health in England as part of a national approach to improving public mental health.

Mental health education empowers people to care for themselves and others by reducing stigma through understanding. Through this training we hope to break down barriers to the support that people may need to stay well, recover, or manage their symptoms.

 

MHFA training courses give people the tools to support themselves and each other, so everyone can talk about mental health and seek help when needed. The course teaches people to spot the signs of mental health issues and how to guide a person towards support. The course won’t teach you how to be a therapist, but it will teach you how to respond in a crisis and how to reach out before a crisis happens.
