Mental Health First Aid
Equip your people with the practical skills to recognise mental health challenges in those around them, provide initial support, and guide colleagues confidently toward the right help.
Most people experiencing mental health challenges don’t ask for help — until someone notices
Mental health first aiders in the workplace make a measurable difference. They are often the first point of contact for people who are struggling and don’t know where to turn.
Confident, compassionate first aid skills for real workplace situations
- Understand the most common mental health conditions and how they present in a work context
- Recognise the early signs of mental health challenges in colleagues and know when to act
- Start a supportive first aid conversation using a structured, compassionate approach
- Provide initial support without diagnosing, prescribing, or overstepping your role
- Know how to help a colleague access the right professional support at the right time
- Respond calmly and effectively in moments of acute mental health crisis
For those taking on a first aider role — formally or informally
This is a fuller, more in-depth course than our Mental Health Awareness session — ideal for those stepping into a designated first aider role, or for managers and HR leads who want a deeper level of knowledge and skill.
People taking on a designated first aider role within their organisation, who want the knowledge, skills, and confidence to fulfil it well.
Those who want to go beyond general awareness and develop real practical first aid skills for the mental health situations they face in their teams.
People and wellbeing professionals who want to build a network of trained first aiders distributed across their workforce.
