What we do Through our training and campaigning, we equip people with the skills they need to support their own and others’ wellbeing. We empower people to notice the signs of mental ill health. We encourage them to break down barriers and listen in a non-judgemental way. We show them how to signpost to support for recovery. We offer a range of training courses from awareness raising to skill development. Our MHFA Two Day course is our most popular training and is designed for everyone. Through this course we take people on a journey to understand what mental health is. We discuss how we all have mental health, like physical health, and we teach people to look after their own and others’ wellbeing.
