Mental Health First Aid Training
With 1 in 4 people living at any one time with a diagnosable mental health condition in the UK, it’s never been more important for people to be able to support employees, loved ones and people in the community.
As a passionate advocate for good mental health, I trained to be an accredited Instructor Member with Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) England. I am proud to be part of an organisation that puts wellbeing at the heart of everything it does. MHFA training doesn’t stop when the course comes to an end. This is why their new MHFA course is their best yet.
Be supported all the way
Mental Health First Aiders (MHFAiders®) are crucial in supporting their
communities – but they need support, too. Train with Be Positive as an MHFAider® and receive three years of support and benefits.
As an MHFAider® you’ll have the most up-to-date information on mental health. Alongside the best evidence-based MHFA training, MHFAiders® are also provided with three-year access to ongoing learning and support through the MHFAider Support App®.
The app gives you 24/7 digital support, access to exclusive resources, ongoing learning opportunities, and the benefit of joining England’s largest community of trained MHFAiders®.
