Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) : Derby, Classroom

A good start to mental health issues. I work with a lot of people with social anxiety and was hoping to gain more info on this topic but understand it may be a bit niche. I have definitely upskilled by attending this course.

I had a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere when I attended the mental health first aid course. The lunch was wonderful and tea and coffee was always available. I would recommend Loates Management Training every time for your training needs.

Literally the most engaging, enjoyable and informative training session I’ve ever had. Thanks Annie.

Sarah and Annie work well as a team and they delivered an exceptional session regarding conflict resolution and mediation skills. They provided us with a lot of information, but also kept everyone engaged by doing group activities. What I enjoyed the most was the fact that it wasn’t just another boring reading of PowerPoint Presentation, but a wealth of knowledge and engagement from both trainers. No question too difficult and a day well spent!

Thank you for equipping me with a lot of knowledge and I look forward to seeing you soon!

A fantastic refresher session for Mental Health First Aiders.
A brilliant trainer, who listened and allowed for all kinds of experience to support the course.
I would recommend MHFA training for anyone, and Loates were brilliant.

Really enjoyed the 2 day training course, learnt a lot and it also reaffirmed that ways I was handling situations was what would have been expected of a Mental Health First Aider. .
Small group but this enabled us all to be more open with each other especially as there were some sensitive subjects discussed throughout the course.
Annie is incredible she is so easy to listen to and has a wealth of expertise that she uses during the course and with this she enabled us all time and space to discuss and share ideas and information.
Loved the fidget toys and snacks Annie shared with us what a great idea.
Just want to say a huge Thankyou.

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.

I attended and completed the MHFA training in May 2024 with Annie Litchfield and found it to be incredibly interesting. Annie’s approach was friendly and constantly kept all the trainees involved and entertained. I found there is so much awareness on mental health however this training provided a lot more depth and insight into the sign posts and support available. I would definitely recommend this training.

The course was 5 star, Annie put us at ease from the first minute and delivered the course superbly. she gave us time to take on board the information and didn’t try to bombard us with information.
every session of the course was explained and Annie got all the delegates involved and active in the day.
I enjoyed the course and now have some knowledge to use when helping people with their issues. Nothing was too much trouble for Annie so brilliant.
Must also add that the shortbread that Annie supplied was not only delicious it was M&S too.
I would recommend this course to anyone thank you for all your work in training people up to help those with mental health issues
Thank You
