Mental Health First Aid Training

ONLINE COURSES NOW AVAILABLE! 


We offer accredited Mental Health First Aid training, delivered in-house to your employees. 


This course provides delegates with in-depth training on how to spot the signs and symptoms of mental health conditions, as well as how to assist an individual in crisis.


Training your employees in Mental Health First Aid is a clear commitment to wellbeing within the workplace. More than ever before, it is crucial that employers value mental health as highly as physical health and put steps in place to equip your employees with the skills they need. 


The two-day Mental Health First Aid course is licensed by MHFA International. All trainers employed by Start Within have completed the MHFA England Instructor Training programme acccredited by the Royal Society of Public Health.
