Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is an internationally recognised training course, designed to teach people how to spot the signs and symptoms of mental ill health and provide help on a first aid basis. This is a two day programme which we will be running four times.

Youth MHFA in education

We believe that the most effective way to safeguard young people and foster whole school wellbeing is to train a blend of staff in all schools.

The two day course will increase awareness of young people’s mental health and will allow you to develop practical skills to identify a range of mental health issues and support a young person to get the help they need. We hope that by giving people the tools to open up these conversations, we can empower them to create mentally healthy, supportive environments in their families, schools, youth groups and communities.

Our Youth MHFA Two Day course qualifies you as a Youth Mental Health First Aider who will have:

• An in depth understanding of young people’s mental health and factors that affect wellbeing.
• Practical skills to spot the triggers and signs of mental health issues.
• Confidence to reassure and support a young person in distress.
• Enhanced interpersonal skills such as non-judgemental listening .
• Knowledge to help a young person recover their health by guiding them to further support – whether that’s through self-help sites, their place of learning, the NHS, or a mix – engaging with parents, carers and external agencies where appropriate.
• Ability to support a young person with a long term mental health issue or disability to thrive.
• Tools to look after your own mental wellbeing.
