This Adult Mental Health First Aid two-day course aims to raise awareness of what mental health is so that
employers can do more to support their employees. Unfortunately, around one in four people at any one
time are affected by mental health problems. The course teaches delegates practical skills to spot the signs
of mental illness and gives them the confidence to step in and support a person who needs assistance.
Delegates will have a deeper understanding of mental health and what factors can affect wellbeing, and how
to encourage a healthier tolerant working environment.
The above course will be delivered by experienced qualified working mental health professionals and
qualified first aid assessors.
