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.
