No, we no longer offer Mental Health First Aid training. Although we delivered this course previously, our clinicians felt there was a better way to equip managers and leaders to support their teams. Our Mental Health Lead course provides skills and practical experience and a level of risk assessment which in our experience is more realistic for a workplace.

No. We recommend our Mental Health Awareness course for all employees, and our Mental Health Lead course for managers and leaders.
