Welcome Whether you already have Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) England training in your organisation or are still considering it, this guide is for you. MHFA England 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 tools to support their own mental health and that of their colleagues and encourages them to access timely support when needed. To be effective and have a sustainable impact, the training needs to be implemented as part of a strategic, whole organisation approach to wellbeing. This guide will take you through the key considerations to help you embed positive, long-term cultural and behavioural change. Every workplace is unique, so we encourage you to identify the best ways to apply these in your organisation. A recent CIPD health and wellbeing at work survey (2022) found that just over two-thirds (68%) of respondents believe their organisation actively promotes good mental wellbeing (down from 77% last year). Around half believe they are effective in tackling workplace stress (52%) or in identifying and managing the mental health risks arising from COVID-19 (48%). Nevertheless, there is still work to be done. As employers we are on this journey together, and MHFA England is here to support you.
