MHFA is for everyone! Our courses are designed so that you don’t need existing knowledge of mental health, just like you don’t need a medical background to take a first aid course.
We would recommend MHFA training for anyone – just as it’s a good idea for people to have basic knowledge of physical first aid. Here are just some of the people who benefit from MHFA skills:
- Line managers
- HR professionals
- Social care professionals
- Teachers
- Parents
- Foster parents
- First responders
- Staff nurses
- Local authorities
- Friends and family
- People with lived experience of mental ill health
