Overview

This course is available as either an online or face-to-face training session. See 'book a course' section below for options. 

We believe that mental health should be treated equally to physical health – and just like physical first aid, Mental Health First Aid training should be kept up to date.  

The four-hour MHFA Refresher course gives you the chance to:  

  • Renew your skills
     
  • Update your knowledge of mental health support
     
  • Practice applying the Mental Health First Aid action plan
     
  • Access three years of MHFAider® Support and Benefits

Please note that the MHFA Refresher is only for people who have completed an  MHFA course or an Armed Forces Mental Health First Aider course. 
 

Cost

We value this course at £150 per person.
