MHFA Training

We are approved MHFA England instructors and can deliver the full range of Adult MHFA England courses as well as the Youth Mental Health First Aid course.

We can come to you to run courses just for your organisation in groups of 6-12 learners, or you can join one of our Open Courses at Bodie’s House, Leicester, for anyone wishing to train as an individual or with smaller numbers of staff.

The Mental Health First Aid course is ideal for individuals who would like to become an MHFAider® to gain the knowledge, awareness, and skills to spot signs of people experiencing poor mental health, be confident to start a conversation, and signpost a person to appropriate support.​ 

In addition to the course, you will become part of the largest dedicated community of Mental Health First Aiders in England, the Association of Mental Health First Aiders, gaining access to resources, ongoing learning, and 24/7 digital support, to give you the tools and knowledge you need to carry out the role effectively and confidently, whether that be in your workplace, a volunteer role, or in the community.

Testimonials

This was a comprehensive and clear course. The visuals and workbook were excellent and easy to use. I loved the inclusiveness of the examples and the format on how it all flowed. Kate was a competent and engaging instructor. She was easy to like and connect with and she never made any of us feel like our answers were wrong. She controlled the flow of the course to ensure we stayed on time and on topic without us even realising. She is an outstanding trainer and I feel I have had the best support to become accredited in this training and as a result I will highly recommend this course to others. She helped create a safe space to learn and I personally left the course feeling more confident in my skills and understanding.

I really enjoyed taking part in the course. It has helped me understand Mental Health in a lot more detail and be able to use the right knowledge and skills to help/ support anyone in need.

Kate was an absolutely brilliant instructor, the course was so insightful and I learnt so much. I really enjoyed the course and meeting a group full of likeminded individuals who restored my faith in the fact that there are lots of people out there who do want to support/do support and advocate for mental health. Thank you so much!

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the truly exceptional training sessions led by Kate. She was an absolute standout as a Mental Health trainer, making what can often be complex topics not only easy to follow but also wonderfully easy to understand. Kate’s ability to break down intricate concepts with clarity and warmth was nothing short of impressive. Beyond her expertise, Kate created an atmosphere that was both welcoming and nurturing. She was attentive to the needs of every participant, ensuring that we all felt comfortable and supported throughout the session. The environment she cultivated was one of ease and friendliness, making the learning experience not just educational but genuinely enjoyable. The setting itself was also beautifully chosen, conveniently accessible with ample parking, great facilities, which made the entire experience seamless from start to finish. Thank you, Kate, for a truly outstanding and memorable training session! (and biscuits!)
