Mental Health First Aid
Manchester First Aid Training can help you get to grips with mental health issues and help improve staff wellbeing.
So, you’ve heard about Mental Health First Aid?
Perhaps you’re wondering what you need to do to keep your team up-to-date, and in full compliance with the Health & Safety Act?
The statistics are staggering:
Each year, 1 in 4 people in the UK experience mental health issues*.
Are you able to identify and assist with mental health issues that may arise within the workplace? Do you have procedures in place to spot the triggers, and improve staff wellbeing?
For the modern workplace, guidelines recommend that at least two members of your team (preferably male and female) are trained in Mental Health First Aid.
That’s where Manchester First Aid Training can help.
With our First Aid for Mental Health course, approved by the FAIB (First Aid Industry Body), you’ll gain a deep understanding of mental health issues and gain the confidence to step in and assist those in distress.
Each course includes in-depth training, real-world scenarios and recommendations, and non-judgemental Q&As. Attendees also receive full certification, in addition to our mental health workbook.
We can train yourself and your staff on-site, or at one of our locations. We offer both 1-day and 2-day courses, depending on the level of detail required.
