MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID

REFRESHER TRAINING

Mental Health First Aid Refresher Training Online

We are licenced and accredited to deliver MHFA England's Adult Mental Health First Aid training which is recognised by the Royal Society for Public Health. Mental Health First Aiders (MHFAider®) receive three years of certification, plus access to ongoing benefits.

We believe that mental health should be treated equally to physical health. And just like physical first aid, Mental Health First Aid training should be kept up to date.

If you’re a Mental Health First Aider or MHFA Champion, take the MHFA Refresher course every three years to:

- Keep your awareness of mental health support current

- Update your knowledge of mental health and what influences it

- Practice applying the Mental Health First Aid action plan

So if it’s time to update your skills, book onto the MHFA Refresher now and feel confident you’re performing your vital role safely.

Why Mental Health First Aid Refresher Training is Important

Enabling your MHFAiders® to refresh their skills, the same way your physical first aiders do, is a great way to demonstrate your organisation’s commitment to treating mental health and physical health equally.

Investing in the course will keep your MHFAiders® motivated, empowered and confident to carrying out their roles, and give you the peace of mind that they can perform their duties effectively.
