Being an MHFAider - Your guide to the role 2022

Welcome Congratulations on completing your Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) course and achieving your certification as Mental Health First Aider (MHFAider ® ). Having taken the course, you are becoming part of a community of half a million people in England and four million people worldwide who are trained to recognise poor mental health and help people find the support they need. It is this community which will achieve our vision to improve the mental health of the nation. Through our mission to train one in ten adults in MHFA England knowledge and skills, we want to create a society where mental health can be spoken about freely and everyone has the skills to look after their own and other people’s wellbeing. This document is for MHFAiders and outlines what to expect from the role, what support you will need from your employer if you are an MHFAider for your workplace, and how MHFA England can support you. Thank you for becoming part of our community.
