Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) : Nottingham, Classroom

I found the mental health first aid training excellent, it was delivered sensitively and professionally, everyone’s points of view were considered and respected. I would thoroughly recommend this training to other voluntary sector organisations.

I attended the two day mental health first aider course , with Annie the teacher who was amazing , very knowledgeable and understanding . would highly recommend this training.

A highly informative and interesting course, delivered sensitively yet entertainingly by Amanda Jackson. I now feel way more equipped to deal with mental health issues both in my personal and professional life. A hugely beneficial two days – thank you.

Overall very impressed. The course was well taught by Annie who was knowledgeable, funny, open and kind. I would recommend to anyone for the simple benefit to further their understanding of the invisible struggles of yourself and others around you. I feel more confident to be able to spot people who are struggling and more able to approach them to be of assistance where possible. The atmosphere made it feel like a safe space and meeting people and hearing others’ views and stories was also beneficial to the learning experience.

Thank you!

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.

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.

Annie was lovely throughout the course. Mandy the lady that joined her on course was also great – both very knowledgeable on subject and full of empathy for offers of experiences within the training session.

Can’t wait to complete more courses through Loates – thanks again.

Great two days training, sessions interactive and led by knowledgeable trainers. Interaction with the attendees and support offered very good and would highly recommend this course to anyone wishing to offer Mental Health First Aid support in their organisation

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