Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) : Derby, Classroom

The fabulous tutor was very knowledgeable and involved all the group in discussions and exercises which made it all very enjoyable as well as informative. Great venue as well.

This training is essential for managers and employees who need to have a clear understanding of Mental health and practical structured ways to support their team.
Mental Health First Aid does exactly that.
I really benefited from Annie’s open-ness and professional knowledge coupled with the group discussions and learning gained from other candidates in different industries was extremely valuable.
It has really helped me identify new ways of working and supporting the health of my team. This course, just like physical first aid gives clear guidance on immediate support that can be applied in a multitude of scenarios.
I would recommend this training for at least one person in every workplace.

I attended a mental health one day course, Annie our trainer was amazing from when I got there guiding me into a car park place in the rain, the building and office was beautiful the course was delivered in such a great informative way and I learnt so much to take back to my workplace, plenty of drinks and snacks offered, lunch was really nice and the day went so quick.
Thank you Annie and the team for such a lovely day.

This was an intense course over 4 half days, although there was a lot to learn Annie and Tayla kept a good pace and I enjoyed the balance of instruction, interaction and discussion. Annie & Tayla were mindful of the content and advised, pre subject, of sensitive subjects, that we might want to abstain from. The course gave some great advice on questions to ask and how and when to use empathy compassion and advice.
I found the course insightful and I feel much more comfortable in my approach towards colleagues and friends alike, that might be struggling with their mental health. I also learnt some useful practice to ensure my own mental health is safeguarded.

Overall I would highly recommend this course to any company, to ensure there is more understanding and compassion shown to anyone suffering from Mental Health challenges.

From the initial query regarding this course to its delivery, I couldn’t fault anything. The pre-course information and joining instructions were given in good time and everyone from Loates was friendly, professional and made you warm to them immediately. The course itself was fantastic, the manual and workbook will be used for years to come as it has so much information in it and will become my reference guide for a lot of things. The trainer was brilliant and put everyone at ease for what could potentially be a harrowing course and the attendee interaction was excellent too. Would highly recommend this course and Loates Management Training in future

This course was offered by Loates Management Training and I’m very glad I booked onto it.
This course is a must for those that feel they are afraid to approach and offer support to a person with a mental health issue for fear of ‘getting it wrong’.
The course builds on your strength as a listener and teaches skills to support and help those around you whether at work or at home or even yourself when you are struggling with every day problems and pressures.

I attended the 2 day Mental Health First Aider training ran by Annie. There was excellent communication and information leading up to the course. The course itself was very interesting and informative with lots of interactive opportunities over the 2 days. Training room was very comfortable and lunch and refreshments provided on each day was fantastic. For anyone thinking about completing this course I would definitely recommend the course and Annie the trainer who was fantastic. We will definitely be booking on another delegate.

Really enjoying this course. Very informative. The course tutor was very knowledgeable along with being approachable.

I attended the Mental Health First Aid course held by Loates Management Training last week, I was impressed by the quality of training delivered, the course content was excellent and the reference material we took away was of a very high standard.

The venue was perfect the room was well ventilated and roomy and all the IT worked first time! Result!

I would also like to mention Loates’ team – they welcomed us and kept us well fed and watered throughout the course, they were professional courteous and delightful.

i would have no issue recommending this excellent HR consultancy for any training needs
