MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID TRAINING
Build confident mental health support within your workplace
Mental Health First Aid training equips your organisation with the knowledge and practical skills to recognise early signs of mental health difficulties, respond appropriately, and guide colleagues toward professional support where needed.
Delivered by a fully accredited instructor and Chartered Organisational Psychologist, the course provides structured, evidence-based learning tailored to real workplace environments.
Why this matters
Workplaces must recognise and respond to mental health challenges. Without clear knowledge and internal support, early signs are missed and issues escalate.
Mental Health First Aid training enables early action, reducing absence and strengthening confident, constructive responses.
When mental health is addressed early and appropriately, organisations reduce risk, strengthen morale, and build a more resilient culture.
