Overview

Why do Mental Health First Aid Training?

Because just like physical first aid, knowing how to respond in a mental health crisis can make all the difference. Mental Health First Aid training gives you the skills to recognise the early signs of common mental health challenges, start supportive conversations, and connect people with the right help sooner. For businesses, it builds a culture of care and psychological safety; for individuals, it’s an empowering way to upskill, reduce stigma, and play a vital role in supporting colleagues, friends, and family.

Why Mental Health First Aid training is good for you, and your business?
