Our Adult Two Day course will:  

• Give a deeper understanding of the issues that impact on and relate to people’s mental health   

• Teach practical skills that can be used every day, including being able to spot the signs and symptoms of mental  health issues and feel confident guiding people towards appropriate support.

• Independent research and evaluation shows that taking part in an MHFA course: 

• Raises awareness and mental health literacy   

• Reduces stigma around mental ill health and feel confident guiding people towards appropriate support  

• Boosts knowledge and confidence in dealing with mental health issues  

• Encourages people to start a conversation with a person who may be experiencing a mental health issue

• Promotes early intervention which enables recovery 

• Each student that completes the course will receive a certificate from MHFA England to say you’re a Mental Health First Aider.

• MHFA won’t teach you how to be a therapist, but it will give you the skills and confidence to assist someone suffering mental distress to seek appropriate support

​

All aspects of mental health are covered on the two day adult course and a list of local self help and professional support is provided to students on all courses along with the comprehensive MHFA manual and workbook
