Let’s Talk Mental Health First Aid — What It Is and Why It Matters

We all know how important it is to look after our physical health — but what about our mental health?

We’re passionate about making mental health part of everyday life. That’s why we offer Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training — practical, down-to-earth courses that give you the skills and confidence to support someone who may be struggling.

So… what is Mental Health First Aid?

Think of it like regular first aid — but for the mind.

It’s about:

✅ Spotting the early signs when someone’s not okay

✅ Knowing how to check in and what to say

✅ Supporting someone without judgment

✅ Signposting them to the right kind of help

You don’t need to be a mental health expert. You just need to care — and be willing to learn.

Who is it for?

Honestly? Everyone.

Whether you’re at home, at work, in a classroom or the community — MHFA gives you tools you’ll use more than you think.

You’ll benefit if you’re a:

• Manager or employer who wants to support your team

• Teacher, coach or youth worker

• Healthcare professional

• Friend, parent, or partner who wants to be there for someone

• Or just someone who wants to better understand mental health

  
  

What courses do we offer?

We know everyone’s time and needs are different — so we’ve made it flexible:

🕓 Level 1 (4 hours) — A great introduction to mental health first aid

📅 Level 2 (1 day) — For those who want to build confidence and deeper knowledge

📚 Level 3 (2 days) — Our most comprehensive course with a nationally recognised certification

All courses can be run virtually or face to face — but we find people get more from it when it’s in person.

Why does it matter?

Because 1 in 4 people experience a mental health problem each year.

Because a single conversation can change someone’s story.

Because knowing how to listen — really listen — is something we all need more of.
