Course Content.

MHFA doesn’t train you to be a therapist but to spot the signs if someone is experiencing a crisis and how to initially support them (just as a with physical first aid),

it also gives learners a knowledge around mental health stigma and illnesses including; Depression, Anxiety, Suicide , Self Harm, Eating Disorders and Psychosis.

MHFA takes a holistic person-centred approach to mental health and mental ill-health, it takes into account both the social model and medical model of mental illness. The skills learnt in MHFA can also come in useful when looking after your own wellbeing.

Those who attend the whole course become accredited Mental Health First Aiders and hold the qualification for 3 years as happens with a physical first aid courses.

About our trainer.

Emma Keeble, Group People Director Park Regis (and an EAP member)

"I am accredited to deliver online or face to face two day Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) Workshops to adults. This is accredited from MHFA England and licensed by Public Health England. I trained in 2018 as a Mental Health First Aider and took the Instructor Training in 2021, this involved a mixture of home learning, assessments and workshops with plenary sessions, over a two month period to give me the skills to become comfortable to train and give me a more in depth knowledge around mental health and mental ill health. I then had to co-deliver my first 2 sessions with a peer to ensure I was fully equipped with the skills to deliver."
