How we work

We provide qualified mental health first aid training to organisations like yours. Each person who you put forward to participate in the 2 day course will be accredited as an Ofqual level 3 Mental Health First Aider.

Our work doesn’t finish there…we are the only provider in the UK to offer free aftercare support for an entire year after the course is complete.

Why? because we really do care.

MHFA England training

Mental health and wellbeing in the workplace is so important. That’s why at Red Umbrella, we provide the MHFA England certificated training recognising the symptoms of mental health issues in other employees, as well as being able to provide initial help and guide an employee towards treatment. MHFA Scotland, Wales, Ireland are separate providers and we supply their certified training too. MHFA England are franchise partners of where mental health first aid all began in Australia over 20 years ago and MHFA England is the most well-known of all the mental health first aid training course providers in the UK. Although their half-day, one-day, two-day courses are not officially accredited, this is a very popular course. Combined with the one-year aftercare and support included by Red Umbrella, your staff are in very good hands with this option.

NEW Neurodiversity half-day training

It is estimated that somewhere between 30 and 40% of the UK population are neurodiverse, although in most cases there may not be any diagnosis or even awareness from the individual that they are neurodiverse. This means that a significant proportion of our workforces may see the world in a different way to others, and respond to situations and circumstances in a different manner.

MHFAider up-skilling for the virtual environment

For most Mental Health First Aiders, you will have been trained during a time when working face to face was standard practice, and spotting the signs that someone might be struggling was easier to do. However, now we are living with Covid and the realities of working from home acceptance and or hybrid working, spotting those signs become more difficult.

What our clients think

Red Umbrella has been engaging, supportive and passionate about all things mental health and support since we started our journey together. Whilst initially we began working on a bespoke training day and the arrangement of mental health first responders, we have been particularly grateful for the speedy response in arranging specific support during the coronavirus pandemic, at a time when our employees need it most. We are looking forward to continuing our journey with Red Umbrella to continue to develop the best ways to continue to support the wellbeing of our employees.

Due to the amazing service received from Red Umbrella, we decided to partner with them as our partner of choice regarding Mental Health First Aiders and their ongoing support. Red Umbrella even took all previously trained MHFAiders under their wing as part of their offering.

Massive thank you to Red Umbrella for all your support so far and ongoing.

Antony Smeaton – Senior Manager – Firstsource Academy

We have been using care coins and Red Umbrella services for almost 12-months to support our employees in respect of Mental Health & well-being. We have just purchased a further Care Coins package as throughout lockdown we have seen the number of referrals increase rapidly. Our employees who have been referred have responded really positively to the service, and we have seen the impact to be extremely positive across the business. The service is extremely personable and our preferred supplier for counseling and therapist support, as well as MHFAider aftercare and support.
