Our training From April 2018 to the end of March 2019 we are proud to have trained a further 140,379 people in mental health skills.
We have trained over 400,000 people since 2009. Mental Health Aware, MHFA Champions and Mental Health First Aiders are a powerful network of people who are actively breaking barriers, setting up new initiatives and reducing stigma around mental health. At the end of the training we ask everyone some questions as part of our evaluation process. We ask them to score their personal confidence of how best to support others with a mental health issue, on a scale of 0-10. Our data from 2018-19 shows that people had an average confidence rating of 4.80 before the training. This moved up to 8.27 after the training.
We also ask people to score their knowledge and understanding of how best to support others with a mental health issue. Our data shows that people had an average score of 4.54 before the training. This moved up to 8.45 after the training. We want our training to create an unshakable belief that we can all talk freely about mental health and seek support when we need it. These figures show an important move towards this. We also ask people to rate the course as part of our quality assurance process. This is to uphold the high standard of MHFA England training. We are proud that 98.58% of people rated their course as ‘good’ or ‘very good’ over the last year. As the leading provider of Mental Health First Aid training in England, the standard of our training is key.
