Why choose our training? What employees say “It’s as though the safe space created during the MHFA England training has come back with us into the office. We now feel able to be more open with each other about our mental health and to support each other when we are stressed.” “I’ve had a colleague experience mental ill health before, and I now can better spot the signs earlier and should it happen again I can offer the most appropriate support.” “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.” “One of our Mental Health First Aiders (MHFAiders ® ) noticed I wasn’t how I usually was. I was really struggling and I didn’t know who else to go to. To sit there and let me speak about how I feel and what’s happened, it made me feel reassured that I wasn’t just an employee, but she took my personal and mental health into consideration.”
