MHFA England Impact Report 2019

Our instructor membership We have a talented instructor membership. They come from all walks of life and have a wide breadth of experience, but all have one thing in common – a desire to improve the mental health of the nation.

Over our 12 year history we have trained over 4,000 instructors to deliver MHFA England courses. Our 56 National Trainers run our Instructor Training programmes. This year we are proud that they have delivered 96 programmes, training 1,184 new instructors. All our MHFA England Instructor Members have passed our licenced seven day training programme, accredited by the Royal Society for Public Health. The programme takes place over six weeks and is followed by an assessment and sign off process, and one year of mentor support. To ensure their skills stay up to date and they can maintain their membership with us, our Instructor Members deliver a minimum of two courses and attend at least one continuing professional development (CPD) event per year. We have run 100 CPD events this year to support our Members who are active and 930 in training. Some Instructor Members are independent and some work within other organisations. They deliver courses in workplaces, schools, universities and communities all over the country. Instructor Members’ development. We currently have 2,224 Instructor
