OUR COURSES

IT'S WHAT WE DO REALLY WELL!

Overview

All of our courses use MHFA International (MHFA England) material and structure, accredited by the Royal Society of Public Health.

 

The majority of our courses are delivered for companies who require 6 or more of their staff trained.  As well as providing subject matter education, they are also excellent for team building and developing a caring and supportive environment in the workplace.  Our trainers are expert in getting the most out of the opportunity this presents.

 

Each month, we run ‘open’ mental health first aider courses for individuals or companies with less than 6 delegates .  These are delivered online and have a maximum number of 16 delegates allowed.

 

You are advised to book early as places tend to get filled quickly.
