Become a Mental Health First Aider for your workplace

Level 3 Mental Health First Aid in the Workplace

Equip yourself with the skills to be able to recognise poor mental health in colleagues, support them and guide them to professional help and promote a healthier workplace by becoming a qualified mental health first aider in the workplace.

Overview

The 2-day Mental Health First Aid in the Workplace course provides a comprehensive set of knowledge and skills needed for people to become qualified mental health first-aiders within their workplace.​

With 1 in 4 people experiencing mental health problems each year in the UK, supporting colleagues at work is vital. Mental Health is just as important as physical health and as an employer, having staff who are qualified as mental health first aiders shows staff we believe this and are interested in their wellfare and wellbeing. A mental healthy workplace is shown to be a more productive workplace.
