Mental Health First Aid in the Workplace Certification

Mental Health First Aid is gaining recognition as a vital role within any business, on par with traditional physical first aid. If your business values its employees and aims to provide a safe, healthy work environment, investing in mental health first aiders is a game-changer.

This Mental Health First Aid Certification program spans over four hours of online learning, split into four engaging sessions. We understand the challenges of releasing employees for extended periods, so we have designed our training to be flexible and fit seamlessly into your schedule. This is the power of learning online; it can be viewed from anywhere at any time and broken down into manageable chunks.

Our unique training approach combines theory with hands-on experience, ensuring that delegates not only learn about mental health but also how to conduct effective mental health first aid sessions. This practical experience sets us apart from other programs, as we aim to equip your delegates to confidently assist those in need. Delegates who complete our course will possess a comprehensive understanding of what it takes to be a pillar of support in challenging times.

Just like physical first aiders are there to help someone in the initial stages of pain and then support them with finding more professional help, mental health first aiders do the same thing. This course will NOT teach you how to be a mental health coach or similar, it simply isn’t at that level. This course IS for those who want to know how to support someone in the short term and help them to find the correct support that they need.
