Welcome We are Mental Health First Aid England ® . We’re a social enterprise with a vision to improve the mental health of the nation. We all know that investing in wellbeing is good for business. Practical mental health skills and awareness training is a key component for creating a safe, healthy workplace where the mental health and physical health of employees are valued equally. It gives people the skills to spot the signs of poor mental health, the confidence to start a conversation, and the knowledge to signpost to support. Improving workplace mental health remains the biggest positive change any organisation can make. But with so many implications, it can be impossible to know where to start. MHFA England is the national authority on mental health first aid. We’ve had 16 years of experience as the leading provider of mental health training, coupled with research and data about what organisations and their employees need and want. Our training and consultancy is here to support you to manage health and wellbeing proactively, minimise the impact of mental ill health on your business and your people, and promote and maintain healthy workplaces. We’ll work alongside you to understand the needs of your organisation and support you to implement training that complements strategy, if you have one. If you don’t, we’ll get you started on that journey and support you along the way. Each organisation’s culture is unique and creating change around mental health is a complex task that requires a multi-tiered approach, which our team of experts is positioned to support. Together, we can help to create a society where everyone’s mental health matters.
Simon Blake, Chief Executive, MHFA England
Poor mental health costs Poor mental health costs UK employers up to £56 billion each year. But for every £1 spent by employers on mental health interventions, they get back £5.30 in reduced absence, presenteeism, and staff turnover (Deloitte, 2022)

“Ever since our initial Mental Health First Aid training pilot in 2018, mental health awareness has never been stronger across all our regions. Whilst everyone is dispersed across a national and international footprint, we all feel part of one community – one that is open, supportive and willing to discuss mental health in a positive way. Utilising the excellent training from MHFA England, our programme has firmly put mental wellbeing at the forefront of our employee culture.”
“We spend a lot of our life at work so how we feel when we are there is important. At Weber Shandwick, we have built an ethos of belonging, connection, and purpose; a culture rooted in collaboration with a positive and supportive team dynamic. MHFA training aligns so well within this dynamic that it is almost impossible to imagine a Weber where we didn’t have MHFAiders!”
Deutsche Bank
“The last couple of years have been tough. We have noticed that more people than ever are coming forward to say they feel lonely and isolated. The training from MHFA England has given me greater awareness of others’ emotional wellbeing. My fellow MHFAiders and I listen and offer guidance on where to get the right support. It can be as simple as offering to have a cuppa and a chat with a colleague - as the saying goes, a problem shared is a problem halved.” Skanska

What employers say
“Mental health knowledge, skills, and awareness training has played a role in trying to demystify the stigma around mental health, something that continues to be a challenge for a lot of organisations and people. The introduction of MHFAiders has helped to empower people across our organisation, at all levels, to speak out about their experiences with mental health, acting as visible role models. Overall, this has helped our people to gain confidence and feel safe to approach the topic, seek support, and resolve the issue before it’s too late.” Grant Thornton
“We are huge advocates for mental health as an organisation, so if a staff member wants to undertake mental health first aid, we will absolutely support it. It’s embedded in our culture, and we’re really proud that we have this support network that can be available in an instant, virtually, or face to face.”
“We’ve found that more people are actively seeking support. Our engagement survey has shown a reported increase in managers supporting employees. Across the organisation, there are managers equipped to support their colleagues. Mental health- related absences have stabilised, and there’s a much more open culture to discuss mental health at all levels.” HCA Healthcare

“The MHFA course was worthwhile both professionally and personally. I gained invaluable skills and tools that I can use to support others.”
“I found the MHFA course really insightful. The instructors leading the course were very knowledgeable and clearly very passionate about mental health. It was inspiring and made me want to make a difference.”
“The MHFA course provided an opportunity for reflection. It has enabled me to consider myself first, while being able to relate and identify signs and symptoms in others. By being able to identify potential problems, it creates improved confidence in the support that I can offer other people.”
“Excellent delivery, very engaging, knowledgeable, lots of real-life experience. I hope more senior leadership team take away the value of MHFA England and make it mandatory across the company.”
“Our tutor was knowledgeable and delivered the training in a very interactive way. The participants had great input into the course that made peer learning extremely valuable!”
“The course was very well structured, and everyone was open about their experiences with mental health”.
“A fantastic opportunity to learn the correct methodology to lessen the impacts or poor mental health. I will take and introduce many of the aspects learned on the course to my personal and professional life”.
“Learning about mental health has changed the way I think about the subject as a whole and understand the stigma related to it. It has helped me to be a more patient and understanding person all around”.

Mental Health First Aid pro- gramme Adult Mental Health First Aid Refresher Workbook section
In 2000, the Mental Health First Aid programme was created in Canberra, Australia, by Betty Kitchener, an educator and mental health consumer, in partnership with Professor Tony Jorm, a mental health researcher. The aim of creating the programme was to extend the concept of first aid training to include mental health issues so that community members were empowered to provide better initial support to people developing mental health issues or in mental health crisis. The Mental Health First Aid programme first went outside Australia in 2003, when it was adopted by the Scottish government. England adopted it from Scotland in 2007. Since then, it has gradually spread to many other countries. By early 2018, these included: Bangladesh, Bermuda, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Japan, Malta, Nepal, Netherlands, New Zealand, Northern Ireland, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Scotland, Singapore, Sweden, UAE, USA and Wales. When the Mental Health First Aid programme was adopted in these countries, either a mental health government agency or a nongovernment mental health organisation adapted the Mental Health First Aid Australia course materials (manual, PowerPoint slides, teaching notes and videos) to their own culture and health system and worked out the method of dissemination best suited to local conditions. Further details of the international spread of the Mental Health First Aid Programme can be found at: www. mhfa.com.au and www.mhfainternational.org An important factor in the Mental Health First Aid programme’s international spread has been the continuing attention to research and evaluation. All course content is as evidence- based as possible and many evaluation studies have been conducted. A range of studies, including randomised controlled trials, have shown that Mental Health First Aid training improves knowledge, reduces stigmatising attitudes, and increases first aid actions towards people with mental health issues. Summaries of these evaluation studies can be found at the MHFA Australia website: www.mhfa.com.au This Mental Health First Aid England manual is based on the 3rd edition Australian Mental Health First Aid manual. The course is designed for members of the public to learn how to assist someone who is developing a mental health issue or is in a mental health crisis.

Training for people managers
The relationship between managers and their team members is key for the health and wellbeing of the whole organisation. People managers create the golden thread between an individual’s objectives, the team’s plan, and the business’ vision and mission. However, a third (33%) of managers say they are out of their depth supporting their team with mental health concerns. Over a quarter (29%) of managers say that more support and training from their employer would help them to create a team where everyone feels they can bring their whole selves to work. (1) By empowering your people managers to build supported, motivated, and committed teams, you can help create a healthy workplace for all, ensuring your people and organisation thrive.
Mental Health Knowledge for Managers
Format: Available online as a set of self-directed digital learning modules.
36% of companies take more of a reactive approach to supporting their employees, according to the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development. But for everyone to thrive in a mentally healthy workplace, managers need to feel empowered to proactively support and motivate their teams every day, and not just during a crisis. With this flexible digital learning package, your managers will learn how to create culture change in your organisation by building on their mental health knowledge. This includes how to have wellbeing conversations and signpost to further support. With a library of training modules, this evidence-based and people- focused approach allows your managers to learn at their own pace, building effective and sustainable support for their teams. What’s covered?
– Getting to know your team – Supporting mental health – Mental health and wellbeing conversations – Managing performance – Workplace stress and managing workloads – Work/life balance – Understanding inequality – Crisis situations – Managing remote teams

“We wanted our less experienced people managers to feel able to open up conversations about mental health with team members. This course was really helpful in laying down the foundations to give our managers both the skills and the confidence to start these potentially difficult conversations. The trainer was excellent and for a course that was delivered all online, it was still as interactive as if you were there in person. They kept us engaged with all of us drawing on a shared whiteboard and group work in breakout rooms to role play potential scenarios. We were impressed with how slick the online experience was and appreciated how attentive MHFA England were before the course to understand our needs.” Octopus Energy
