2-Day Mental Health First Aider
MHFAiders® are essential to maintaining employee wellbeing. Our training is grounded in proven techniques and developed with clinical practitioners to ensure we provide the best course content possible.
This course is delivered in two ways:
Online over 4 individual sessions of 3 hours usually split over 4 separate days
Face-to-face over 2 days either on-site at your premises or at our open courses held in Liverpool, Milton Keynes and other locations nationwide.
Courses are categorised as either Adult, Youth or Armed Forces and are already well known as being practical, workable and sensible.
The course is run by Ann Marie Robinson, (who some of you may recognise as Katrina Evans from Brookside!) Ann has years of experience delivering MHFA England courses both online and face-to-face and is currently training to become a Psychotherapist.
