What you leave the workshop with.
Upon completion and full attendance of the two day course, you will receive a MHFA course certificate of participation” In addition to this you can become an accredited Mental Health First Aider by completing a free open online test. This is valid for three years and then a refresher course would need to be completed.
You receive a manual that has in-depth information with what you have been taught during the workshop. The manual also has an in-depth list of resources of where to go and practical resources to assist someone experiencing a mental health challenge.
Please note this course is for people aged 18 years and over. This is an education workshop not a course for therapeutic purposes or a support group.
During the Workshop
The standard MHFA face to face course is a minimum of 12 hours. This can be configured in number of ways, and we are happy to explore this with you.
When providing the Mental Health First Aid course it is always best to do so with two instructors, given the sensitivity and depth of the content. For this reason, we also keep the group size to a maximum of 20 participants. We have tailored our delivery towards Christian based organisations and our pricing reflects our desire to train people within these communities.
We look forward to hearing from you and discussing the Mental Health First Aid programme being delivered to your organisation/group.
