Mental Health First Aid Training
We all have both physical health and mental health. Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training is the mental health equivalent of physical first aid. It won’t teach you to be a therapist, but it will teach you to listen, reassure and respond, even in a crisis – and even potentially stop a crisis from happening.
Training in MHFA will give you an understanding of how to support positive wellbeing and tackle stigma in the world around you. You’ll learn to recognise warning signs of mental ill health, and develop the skills and confidence to approach and support someone while keeping yourself safe, as well as how to empower someone to access the support they might need for recovery or successful management of symptoms.
At React First we use MHFA England trained instructors and you will receive a MHFA England certificate. The MHFA England instructor training programme is licensed by Mental Health First Aid International and is accredited by the Royal Society for Public Health. MHFA England is a social enterprise who believe that everyone should have access to support for their mental health. By delivering MHFA England training courses we share in their belief that mental health needs to be openly discussed and supported for the good of both individuals and society.
The main aims of MHFA are to:
- preserve life where a person may be a danger to themselves or others
- prevent deterioration of their emotional or mental state
- promote recovery of good mental health
- provide comfort where a person may be in distress
- raise awareness of mental health issues in the community
- reduce stigma and discrimination around mental health
We offer a range of MHFA England courses both face-to-face and via virtual online learning. Our public course programme is currently online only. For organisations and business we can deliver both online and face-to-face training as long as there is a safe environment in which to do so.
