MHFA Aware

This half day course is an introductory four hour session to raise awareness of mental health.

It is designed to give you:

  • An understanding of what mental health is and how to challenge stigma
  • A basic knowledge of some common mental health issues

  • Confidence to interact with someone in distress or who may be experiencing a mental health issue
  • Insight into the two day course and the benefits of becoming a Mental Health First Aider

Numbers are limited to 25 people per course so that the instructor can keep people safe and supported while they learn. You will get an MHFA manual to keep and refer to whenever you need it. When you complete the session you’ll get a certificate to say you are MHFA Aware.
