Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) Refresher course
In line with Physical First Aid qualifications, MHFA England now recommend that Mental Health First Aiders should complete a refresher course once every three years.
This half day refresher course allows an opportunity to revisit your understanding of mental health, practice your skills and discuss your experience of supporting people with the Mental Health First Aid Action Plan.
Who should attend?
This course is to empower Mental Health First Aiders and MHFA Champions to maintain their skills with regular refresher training.
The four hour refresher course will support Mental Health First Aiders and MHFA Champions by:
• Renewing their skills
• Updating their knowledge of mental health supports
• Giving them the chance to practice applying the Mental Health First Aid action plan
Enabling Mental Health First Aiders and MHFA Champions to refresh their skills, the same way physical first aiders do, is a great way to demonstrate your organisation’s commitment to treating mental health and physical health equally.
Investing in the course will give you the confidence that your Mental Health First Aiders and MHFA Champions are performing their role safely and effectively.
Takeaways
You will receive a combined manual & workbook, and e-certificate on completion of the course.
