Mental Health First Aid

Bath Mind is a member of Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) England with qualified instructors offering a range of evidence-based learning, from awareness raising to skill development. 

The course empower people to notice signs of mental ill health, and encourage them to break down barriers, listen in a non-judgemental way, and signpost to support for recovery. We deliver the full MHFA, as well as the MHFA Champion, Aware and MHFA Refresh courses.

This course supports people to identify, understand and help someone who may be experiencing a mental health issue. MHFA won’t teach you to be a therapist, but it will teach you to listen, reassure and respond, even in a crisis – and even potentially stop a crisis from happening.

This course qualifies you as a Mental Health First Aider, giving you:

• An in-depth understanding of mental health and the factors that can affect wellbeing
• Practical skills to spot the triggers and signs of mental health issues
• Confidence to step in, reassure and support a person in distress
• Enhanced interpersonal skills such as non-judgemental listening
• Knowledge to help someone recover their health by guiding them to further support – whether that’s self-help resources, through their employer, the NHS, or a mix

The online MHFA is broken down into 4 live sessions with independent learning.

Please note you must attend all 4 live sessions to qualify as a Mental Health First Aider.
