Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) encourages early detection and intervention by teaching people about the signs and symptoms of mental health issues and helps people understand where to find sources of support in a very similar way to Physical First Aid.
-
Like traditional first aiders who provide immediate assistance for physical injuries, MHFAiders (Mental Health First Aiders) provide initial support, encouragement, and signposting of a person to identify and access sources of professional help and other support for their mental health.

MHFA training is a 2 day course designed to help the MHFAider build their knowledge and confidence in supporting others who may be struggling or experiencing poor mental health.
