Mental Health First Aid Courses

At Great Minds At Work, we have a range of different mental health first aid courses for all requirements. Whether you need a refresher course for your team, or you’re an individual who wants to be able to better deal with mental health issues at work, we can help. All our courses are fully approved and accredited MHFA England courses. Plus, we can even provide our courses online, in-light of current restrictions due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Why have a workplace mental health first aider?

In the same way that a medical first aider has the knowledge to provide first response support in light of an accident, mental health first aiders play the role of providing advice and support to colleagues suffering from mental illness or other episodes of poor mental health at work.

Workplace mental health issues can result in employees taking time off or not performing up to their usual standard, resulting in lost money and resources. Our courses provide employees, line managers, and employers with the key knowledge of common mental health issues they need to support mental health in the work environment.

Mental health first aiders will have the ability to recognise signs of stress and mental ill-health and implement interventions based on their learned mental health expertise.

Further to this, if employees are experiencing poor mental health, they can contact the mental health first aider for support, confident they have the training and understanding to help them cope with distressing symptoms of mental ill-health.

Mental health first aiders will also be able to signpost employees towards the right support and arm them with a ‘resilience toolkit’ of mental health strategies and techniques that research has proven to help.

Having a mental health first aider in your company can help to boost mental health awareness across your workplace, normalise conversations around mental health issues and support working communities to approach these issues without stigma.
