Who we work with

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.

Training we offer

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.

Level 2 and 3 Ofqual accredited mental health training

Having mental health first aiders in the workplace is really beneficial, but have you thought about how to implement them, and who will look after them going forwards?

Mental health awareness training for managers

Understanding mental health and the wide-ranging implications it can have on our teams has become an essential skill for today’s managers. This training workshop will help managers understand mental health, know how to spot the signs of poor mental health, provide initial support and then help signpost on to the correct care for that person. It’s essential training for managers of all levels, allowing them to feel confident and better equipped to respond to mental health issues in their teams.

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.

Led by a committed and forward thinking team using innovation to drive positive and real change within the mental health space. Great partnership.

Josie Lazenby Senior Manager – Occupational Health & Wellbeing

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.

We receive the best training and even more importantly all our MHFAiders receive ongoing support, which is vital.

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.
