Online Mental Health First Aid Training
Mental Health First Aid is an educational course which teaches people how to identify, understand and help a person who may be developing a mental health issue. In the same way as we learn physical first aid, Mental Health First Aid teaches you how to recognise those crucial warning signs of mental ill health.
Developed in Australia in 2000 and now internationally recognised in 25 countries, MHFA courses teach people how to recognise the signs and symptoms of common mental health issues, provide help on a first aid basis and effectively guide someone towards the right support.
What will I learn?
Our Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) Standard Training course is split up into 4 manageable Online modules. These are:
- Live Session One: Introduction to the course and Mental Health First Aid
- Live Session Two: Anxiety, Crisis first aid for Panic attacks, Eating Disorders, Self-Harm and substance misuse
- Live Session Three: Depression, Crisis first aid for suicide, and psychosis
- Live Session Four: Recovery, and Mental Health First Aid action planning
In each section you’ll learn how to:
- Spot the early signs of a mental health problem
- Feel confident helping someone experiencing a mental health problem
- Provide help on a first aid basis
- Help prevent someone from hurting themselves or others
- Help stop a mental illness from getting worse
