Training
MHFA England training gives people tools to support themselves and each other, so everyone can talk about mental health and seek help when needed. We teach people to spot the signs of mental ill health and guide a person towards support. We don’t teach people to be therapists, but we do teach people how to respond in a crisis, and how to reach out before a crisis happens. – Protect employee mental health through prevention and early intervention – Embed culture change across the whole organisation – Develop your managers’ skills and knowledge to have effective mental health conversations with their teams – Build employees’ confidence to have open conversations around mental health and break the stigma – Encourage people to access support early when needed, for a faster recovery – Empower people with a long term mental health issue or disability to thrive in work – Promote a mentally healthy environment, allowing people to thrive and become more productive – Become part of England’s leading community of MHFAiders and get automatic 24/7 digital support through the MHFAider Support App ® (as part of our Mental Health First Aid course).
Legislation for Mental Health First Aid Legislation for Mental Health First Aid provision in the workplace is not yet in place. The Health and Safety Executive says: “You should consider ways to manage mental ill health in your workplace which are appropriate for your business, such as providing information or training for managers and employees, employing occupational health professionals, appointing mental health trained first aiders and implementing employee support programmes.”
