Mental health first aid training in the workplace

All employers are required legally to provide a recognised first aider in the workplace for physical health. At Red Umbrella, we believe mental ill-health and wellbeing is just as important. That’s why we provide an internationally recognised MHFA course, for designated employees. The course is accredited by the Royal Society for Public Health/Public Health England.

By the end of the training, your designated member of staff will be able to say they are an accredited mental health first aider.

Josie Lazenby Senior Manager – Occupational Health & Wellbeing – Virgin Atlantic Airways Ltd

Red Umbrella recently provided MHFA training for a number of team leaders and managers across our Charity. The training enabled a number of our staff to really develop their understanding of what mental health is and what factors can affect wellbeing. They have come away with some sound techniques for spotting signs of mental illness and confidence to support others in our workplace.
