RECOMMENDED COURSES
MHFA ENGLAND COURSES
We’re proud to work in close partnership with The Elliot Project to deliver Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) England training to individuals across our community.​​
This accredited two-day course provides participants with the knowledge, skills and confidence to support others experiencing mental health challenges. It covers a wide range of topics including how to identify signs of poor mental health, how to respond in a crisis, and how to guide someone towards the appropriate professional help. While it does not train individuals to become therapists, it equips them to offer effective first response support and help create safer, more understanding communities.​​
​Ordinarily, this training costs over £350 per person, but thanks to the generous support of The Elliot Project Team, the full cost is covered for participants who attend through our partnership. This makes the course accessible to those who may not otherwise be able to afford it, ensuring that more people in our communities are trained to offer vital mental health support.​
​To date, we’ve supported over 500 people in completing the course and we’re proud that more than 100 of those have come directly from within our own community. Together, we’re helping to create a more informed, compassionate, and responsive network of support – and ultimately, saving lives.
If you're interested in future opportunities to take part in MHFA training, please get in touch or keep an eye on our upcoming events and announcements.
​​We highly recommend that EVERYONE completes one of these trainings, they take around 20 minutes and will teach you the skills and confidence to have a potentially life-saving conversation with someone you’re worried about.
