We believe that mental health should be treated equally to physical health.
Just like physical first aid, we recommend MHFAiders® take the MHFA Refresher course every three years to ensure their mental health knowledge, awareness, and skills are up to date.
Refreshing your Mental Health First Aiders’ skills shows your commitment to building a stronger, more resilient workforce.

As well as access to ongoing learning and expert support, members gain the benefits of being part of a national movement for better mental health.
