Mental Health First Aid Training
We run regular Online Mental Health First Aid MHFA training courses. You can browse dates and book your place below.
For organisations and business we can deliver online mental health first aid training courses where they are available or face-to-face training as long as there is a safe environment in which to do so. MHFA England is working to provide online versionsof their most popular mental health first aid courses. The online versions of Adult MHFA course and the Youth MHFA course have been very well-received.
Training in mental health first aid 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.
Quality Assurance
At React First all our MHFA training courses are delivered by 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 Mental Health First Aid, MHFA training 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 all have both physical health and mental health. Mental Health First Aid MHFA training is the mental health equivalent of a physical first aid course. 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.

First Aid Tips
React First trains a small number of carefully selected people every year to become first aid trainers to deliver high quality first aid courses on our behalf.
Almost all of our trainers come to us because they have attended one of our Outdoor First Aid courses as a candidate and liked the style so much that they want to learn to deliver first aid courses in the same way.
