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 a Mental Health First Aider.

Our work doesn’t finish there…we are the only provider in the UK to offer vital aftercare and support, free to every delegate for an entire year after the course is complete. No AI, no apps, no digital, just person to person care and support for an entire year after the course is complete.

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 workforce may see the world in a different way to others.

However there are so many different facets to mental health, you might find that you have a specific need that isn’t met by the off the shelf training, as good as it is. This where our up-skilling training comes in.
