In the last few years, all key elements of our lives have changed beyond recognition.  Our workplaces are no longer a massive office building, we now have a hybrid working system and many of us now work from home.  We’ve been through the isolation of the pandemic, the cost-of-living crisis, and the dreadful rise in inflation, pushing mortgages through the roof. Everyone’s mental health has been challenged in some way, which is where MHFA can help.

Mental Health First Aiders (MHFAiders®) are vital to helping boost employee wellbeing as we adjust to a completely changed workplace environment.

The course is split into four modules. The course can be delivered over 2 days or over 4 half days if virtual delivery is preferred.

• The impact of mental health
• Stigma

• The MHFA action plan
• Stress
• Depression
• Suicide
• Substance misuse
