Mental Health First Aid
A mental health first aider does for psychological wellbeing what a first aider does for physical injury: notices early, responds calmly and connects the person with the right help. This course teaches you to recognise when a colleague may be struggling with their mental health or substance use, how to open a supportive conversation, and how to signpost them to colleagues, community resources or healthcare professionals. It is ideal for designated wellbeing leads, managers and anyone who wants their workplace to respond better to mental ill health. Pass the assessment and your verified certificate of completion is issued immediately.
