Mental Health First Aider

The face-to-face Mental Health First Aider course is a full two-day programme that comprises four sessions.

The two days can be back to back or spread out one week apart (eg Monday and Monday).

The online version is delivered through four tutor led live sessions that range from 3hrs to 3hrs 45mins in length.

The live sessions can be delivered flexibly over two days or four days, whatever your preference.

Both the face-to-face and online versions of the course have the same outcomes. Mental Health First Aiders will be able to:

• Listen, reassure, and respond effectively, even in crises.
• Recognise poor mental health warning signs and confidently offer support while ensuring personal safety.
• Guide individuals to access appropriate resources, such as therapy, self-help, or support groups.
• Promote wellbeing and challenge mental health stigma.

Upon completing the course, learners receive a three-year certification and can join the Association of Mental Health First Aiders. Membership is free and provides access to resources, ongoing learning, and 24/7 digital support via the MHFAider Support App^®, equipping them to confidently perform their role in workplaces, volunteer positions, or communities.
