Digital manual Learners on the MHFA course will receive a digital reference manual to support you after you complete your course. The digital manual includes a detailed look at the MHFA action plan and other mental health models, information about common mental health conditions and crises from trusted and up-to-date sources, and best practice for using the MHFA action plan. MHFAider Support App The MHFAider Support App hosts features and resources to support you in your MHFAider role, including: – Hub of Hope . A national mental health database of local and national mental health advice and support services. MHFA England have partnered with Hub of Hope so that you can access the database from within the MHFAider Support App. – Reflective note taking . Record your reflections after an MHFA conversation using the MHFAider Support App conversations feature. Your reflections are not formal notes and should be written to remind you of how you felt, anything that concerned you, and any actions you took. You don’t need to ask the person’s permission to make notes, but it is good practice to explain
the benefits of your reflective notes. The benefits are: to support you in processing the conversation and reflecting on how you used your skills, to be a helpful note for any future MHFA conversations, and to better understand the impact of your role by seeing how many MHFA conversations you are having and how long you are spending in the role. – Shout’s text support service . You may want support after a challenging MHFA conversation. – Resources . You will find documents, films, and toolkits designed to remind you of important course content and help you to promote positive mental health in your setting.
