Mental Health First Aid Training

Our certified Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training equips your school staff, educators, parents, or workplace teams with the knowledge and confidence to identify, understand, and respond to mental health challenges.

Why MHFA Training?

Mental health issues affect 1 in 4 people every year, yet stigma and lack of understanding often prevent individuals from seeking help. MHFA training bridges this gap by providing practical tools and strategies to create safer, more supportive environments where everyone can thrive.

For Schools

Schools are more than places of learning — they are communities. When educators, staff, and parents are equipped to support mental health, young people thrive.

By offering Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training, your school demonstrates a proactive commitment to student well-being. Research shows that MHFA significantly improves mental health literacy, helping participants recognise early warning signs and respond with confidence, empathy, and clarity.

Whether you're looking to raise awareness or empower leaders with deeper skills, we offer MHFA qualifications tailored to the school environment:

  • Level 1 Award – Awareness of First Aid for Mental Health

  • Level 2 Award – First Aid for Mental Health

  • Level 2 Award – First Aid for Youth Mental Health
