MHFA support packages – strategic support for your workplaces

Two People Looking At A Screen

A complete support package to create mentally healthy workplaces  

Creating a workplace where mental health is actively supported takes more than just one-off training – it requires a sustained, strategic approach. Our comprehensive Mental Health First Aid support package is designed to help you turn your network of MHFAiders® into a confident, connected, and embedded part of your workplace wellbeing culture.  

From strategic consultancy and policy development to individual support, skills building, and network facilitation, we provide everything you need to harness Mental Health First Aid into a long-term organisational asset.

Why this matters to your MHFAiders – and for your workplace 

Mental health in the workplace is no longer a ‘nice-to-have’ —it’s a core part of building a thriving, resilient, and high-performing workplace. Improving workplace mental health is essential for helping employees stay engaged and productive, helping more people stay in jobs, and unlocking untapped economic potential. Investment in early workplace interventions can return £5–£6.30 for every £1 spent.

Our enhanced Mental Health First Aid support package is designed to help you make the most of your investment in training by: 

Sustaining engagement and confidence among your trained MHFAiders 

  • Inspiring a more open, connected, and mentally healthy workplace culture 
    Strengthening your organisation’s commitment to psychological safety and employee wellbeing 
  • Providing meaningful insights and evidence of impact to share with leaders and stakeholders 
  • Aligning your mental health work and policies with your values and wider wellbeing strategy 
  • Embedding mental health into policy, planning, and culture

This isn’t just about a course. It’s about activating a vibrant peer network, empowering your people with ongoing support, and embedding mental health as a visible part of your culture. 

Mental Health First Aid is having a transformative impact on individual health in the workplace and beyond. It’s improving workplace culture and business performance. Every day, MHFAiders are having life-changing and life-saving conversations: 

  • 94% of our MHFAiders believe they are challenging stigma around mental health
  • 91% believe that MHFAiders save lives

Mental health and productivity go hand in hand – better wellbeing drives better business performance. Mental Health First Aid should be a vital part of every workplace’s approach to mental health and wellbeing. 

Practical tools. Strategic impact. Real cultural change. 

Whether you’re just getting started or looking to enhance an existing programme, our flexible, modular solutions can be tailored to meet your goals and make a lasting difference across your organisation. 

Strategic support for your workplace you can choose from include: 

1. MHFAider strategy review 
We begin with a full review of your current Mental Health First Aid approach. You’ll receive clear, actionable recommendations on recruitment, implementation, communication, and engagement—ensuring your MHFAiders are embedded within your wellbeing strategy, not operating in silos. 

2. MHFAider policy development 
A strong foundation starts with clarity. We work with you to create a tailored policy that defines the role of MHFAiders in your organisation, including responsibilities, boundaries, and support structures—helping build consistency, confidence, and organisational alignment. 

3. MHFAider impact data – year one 
Gain clear insight into the value your MHFAiders bring. Quarterly impact summaries are generated from the information your MHFAiders log on their MHFAider Support App®. These summaries outline conversation themes, time spent supporting others, and signposting activity (never sharing personal or confidential information). The reports help you demonstrate impact, support planning, and align with leadership priorities.

Targeted support for Mental Health First Aiders 

In addition to the ongoing support we provide through theAssociation of Mental Health First Aiders®, which includes exclusive access to a wide range of resources, from ongoing learning and qualifications to events and research, some MHFAiders may benefit from more bespoke, organisation-specific support.  

That’s why we have developed a range of additional offers designed to meet your unique needs, strengthen confidence, and help your Mental Health First Aiders thrive in their roles. Whether they’re supporting a small network or working alone, or part of a large-scale programme, these solutions are built to add meaningful value and long-term impact whilst supporting your MHFAiders every step of the way. 

Explore our tailored support options below: 

MHFAider welcome session 
Set the tone for success. We will work with you to ensure we are setting your MHFAiders up for success, within the context of your organisation.  This session welcomes newly trained MHFAider’s, introduces the benefits of the Association, the MHFAider Support App and resources, and connects them to a national peer community. It’s a powerful start that builds confidence and a sense of belonging from day one. 

Enhanced skills practice (three hours) 
Deepen existing practical skills and strengthen confidence. These tailored workshops provide hands-on practice in navigating complex mental health conversations—guided by real-world feedback and lived experience. MHFAiders leave feeling more capable, confident, and connected in their role, having built on their existing skills learnt on the MHFA® course.  

MHFAider network facilitation 

Connection reduces isolation—and fuels resilience. Our expertly facilitated network sessions (60–90 minutes each, four delivered over a year), provide space for your MHFAider’s to share experiences, access peer support, reflect, and recharge. These sessions help your network stay active, energised, and supported throughout the year and will be tailored to your MHFAider’s needs and any challenges they may be facing.  

Why it matters 

This is more than support—it’s a complete ecosystem/package for your workplace. You’re not only investing in your Mental Health First Aider’s as individuals, but in a strategic wellbeing infrastructure that empowers your people, strengthens your culture, and supports your organisation’s long-term success.
