Mental Health First Aid in the Workplace

Duration – 2 days

With 1 in 4 people in the UK likely to experience a mental health issue each year, it is of the upmost importance that workplaces are taking an active role in supporting the wellbeing of their staff. A Mental Health First Aider can help to facilitate this. Our regulated and nationally recognised qualifications create Mental Health First Aiders who can genuinely make a difference within their workplace, giving them the tools to actively support colleagues who are struggling, and also the ability and personal resilience required to put those tools into practice.

By developing a greater understanding of common mental health issues, as well as how best to support and guide someone experiencing poor mental health, Mental Health First Aiders play a vital role in reducing the stigma associated with mental health in the UK. The Qualsafe Level 3 Award in Mental Health First Aid in the Workplace (RQF)is a regulated and nationally recognised qualification that has been specifically designed for those who would like to become a Mental Health First Aider in their workplace. This qualification raises learners’ awareness of mental health, develops an understanding on how to support, reassure and signpost fellow colleagues to professional support.
