What is First Aid for Mental Health?

​

First Aid for Mental Health (FAFMH) training is designed to teach people how to spot the signs and symptoms of mental ill health and provide help on a first aid basis. In a similar way to physical First Aid, FAFMH helps attendees recognise these signs, to start a great conversation and to have the confidence to signpost to the appropriate professional support and option of self-care.

      Who is it for?

​

  • Anyone can attend a FAFMH course as the content and learning provide powerful life skills.

  • Great for anyone with an interest in mental health and desire to help others

  • For staff with people responsibilities - these courses provide great insight and practical skills to support colleagues, as well as guidance on how to embed a mentally healthy and positive culture within your organisation.
