Mental Health First Aid Training Course

Many of us may know how to support a friend or colleague if they are having a physical health emergency such as a heart attack, but we may not be trained in or even know how to support someone experiencing a mental health crisis. 

Our Mental Health First Aid training course is designed to support your workforce. We offer the accredited QA Internationally recognised Level 3 Award in Mental Health First Aid in the Workplace (RQF), and we also have a dedicated team of MHFA England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland independent instructors that can deliver the equivalent courses.

Our Mental Health First Aid Training Courses

Our Mental Health First Aid training courses cover essential topics, including defining mental health and tackling stigma, identifying factors that affect mental health, and fostering effective conversations to equip your business with everything it needs to ensure your staff members are supported. Take a look below at our different training course options and what they cover.

MFHA Training in the Workplace

All employers are legally required to provide a recognised first aider in the workplace for physical health, and we believe that mental health is just as important.

We offer senior line and management training, which helps managers to feel more equipped to offer the necessary support to their staff whilst still protecting their own wellbeing. We also offer staff training, to encourage self-awareness and highlight that prevention is the preferred outcome rather than focussing on the cure, with clear guidance about Red Umbrella’s discreet person-centred support framework for staff.

Why Choose Red Umbrella

At Red Umbrella, we aim to build long-lasting, solid relationships with our clients, truly helping them reach their maximum potential within workplace mental wellbeing – because we really do care.
