Red Umbrella Teams Up With Money First Aid

Financial wellbeing is very closely tied in with mental wellbeing. We know that many people experiencing financial stress will develop mental health problems. That's why we've teamed up with the award winning Money First Aid to develop a course specifically for Mental Health First Aiders

In a recent survey, 86% of people with a mental health problem said that their financial situation made it worse. At Red Umbrella, we know too well the cost of financial stresses. And we know that many mental health first aiders are supporting people with these financial pressures. Wouldn't it be great if they had the knowledge and skills to better support those people, with a whole range of vetted, credible signposting options for further help?

The Ideal Partners for Mental and Financial Wellbeing

Money First Aid are an award winning organisation that have developed a range of online courses aimed at teaching people about financial wellbeing. The training is interactive, reflective and designed to equip people with the key skills to look after their own financial health.

Working together, Red Umbrella and Money First Aid have developed the first training course designed specifically for Mental health First Aiders, that equips them with the knowledge to better support people in finanical difficulty, building on the skills they've already learned in their mental health training.

The Ideal Upskilling for MHFA's

This training equips learners with the knowledge around the different types of financial challenges people face, helps them to understand how they can best support someone through financial challenges, and where their boundaries lie when it comes to offering support. It allows Mental Health First Aiders to feel more confident in tackling one of the biggest causes of stress in the UK.

Because the course is completed online, at the learners own pace, it's the ideal course to upskill your employees on. It's low cost and easily accessible, whilst significantly improving the support options available to your employees.
