ABOUT THIS COURSE
Mental Health First Aid won’t teach you to be a therapist, but it will teach you to listen, reassure and respond, even in a crisis – and potentially stop a crisis from happening.
This one-day course is relevant to anyone who is working or volunteering with adults. It is especially suited for nominated first aiders to spot signs and symptoms of mental ill health and provide help on a first aid basis.
