MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID
​​
We offer Mental First Aid training through Mental Health First Aid (England)
ABOUT OUR TRAINING
Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is an internationally recognised training course which teaches people how to spot the signs and symptoms of mental ill health and provide help on a first aid basis.
MHFA won’t teach you to be a therapist, but just like physical first aid, it will teach you to listen, reassure and respond, even in a crisis.
We can also offer a range of qualifications through QNUK.
