Mental Health Courses

Nearly two-thirds of the population say that they have experienced a mental health issue at some point in their lives. Our courses aim to remove the stigma surrounding mental health & to encourage individuals to ask for help when they need it, and to support managers to recognise and support signs and symptoms of poor mental health within themselves and their teams

Introduction to First Aid for Mental Health

This Level 2 Award in Introduction to First Aid for Mental Health (RQF) has been developed to allow learners to become a first aider for mental health in their workplace. This means they will be able to provide basic mental health support or to be the first response to someone in need.

Although the qualification will not allow learners to become clinically qualified to assess, diagnose or treat mental ill health, they will demonstrate a deeper understanding of the principles of first aid for mental health and develop the basic tools to listen to individuals who require first response support for their mental health.
