Outline

Overview

If you are a Mental Health First Aider you have skills for life that support you and the people around you. We believe that mental health should be treated equally to physical health – and just like physical first aid, Mental Health First Aid training should be kept up to date. 

MHFA won’t teach you to be a therapist, but it will teach you to listen, reassure and respond, even in a crisis – and even potentially stop a crisis from happening.

Audience

This course is a skills update for those who have previously undertaken the full two-day Mental Heath First Aid (MHFA) course.

MHFA England recommend that Mental Health First Aid skills are refreshed every three years.

Objectives

By the end of this course you will be able to:

  • Keep your awareness of mental health supports current
  • Update your knowledge of mental health and what influences it 
  • Practice applying the Mental Health First Aid action plan

Content

This course covers:

  • Practical skills to spot the triggers and signs of mental health issues
  • Confidence to step in, reassure and support a person in distress
  • Helping someone recover their health by guiding them to appropriate support
  • Understanding how to keep yourself safe while performing your duties

Resources

You will be provided with the latest MHFA Manual, which will be your comprehensive post-course guide, along with a handy pocket-sized reference resource.

Testimonials

MHFA Refresher January 2023

Huge thanks to Annie for running a very informative and positive MHFA refresher course. Great content and course structure.

A good start

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.

Excellent training

I recently attended the 2-day MHFA course and it was a pleasure to have Annie as our instructor for the 2-days, you can tell that she has been delivering training for some years as she was very knowledgeable and comfortable in delivering the course subject matter. I envisaged the course to be very intense and PowerPoint driven but this was not the case there was plenty of interaction on the course with other attendees and chances to discuss our own experiences which really helps in linking everything together from the course content. Plus any instructor that brings a goodie basket will always be welcome. A thoroughly enjoyable course thank you again Annie.

Great Training Session!

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!

Outstanding

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

On-Demand Delivery

In addition to our public scheduled courses, we also offer the option of on-demand private training that’s exclusive to your organisation.

This can provide a particularly convenient and cost-effective solution if you have a large number of staff members to train.

And it’s also tremendously flexible.

Since on-demand courses only have your delegates attending, we can customise them to be specific to the policies and processes of your organisation, and tailor course lengths and depths to suit your particular needs. Likewise, we can combine material from several existing courses, develop fully bespoke content, or combine multiple courses into full programmes of training.

And we can deliver this training whenever and wherever is best for you; in-house at your venue, at one of our training venues, somewhere else entirely, online, or any combination of these.

For an idea of the types of on-demand training that we can provide, just take a look at our on-demand training catalogue.

To find out more about our on-demand delivery options, please contact us to arrange an informal chat with one of our friendly and down-to-earth training instructors.
