Mental Health Training

Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, the UK faced a growing mental health crisis, with 1 in 4 adults experiencing a mental health issue each year. While conversations around mental health are becoming more common, stigma still exists — especially in the workplace.

This often leads to employees staying silent until they are in crisis.

Training your team in First Aid for Mental Health is a powerful step toward changing that. It helps to:

• Raise awareness of common mental health conditions
• Encourage early intervention and support recovery
• Build confidence in recognising and responding to signs of distress
• Reduce stigma and foster a more supportive workplace culture

What is First Aid for Mental Health?

Our 1-Day Level 2 course builds on the foundation of the Level 1 course and provides deeper insight into mental health awareness and support strategies. It includes additional content on the impact of drugs and alcohol, introduces the First Aid for Mental Health Action Plan, and explores how to support a positive mental health culture in the workplace.
