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.

Need to train a lot of people?
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.
