Renew your skills as an official Mental Health First Aider (MHFAider®)!
“A wonderful refresher which gives me the confidence to continue using my mental health first aid skills both at work and in life in general for the foreseeable future.”
We believe mental health should be treated equally to physical health — and just like physical first aid, mental health first aid training should be kept up to date. Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) Refresher is a half-day Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) England course designed for those who have already qualified as Mental Health First Aiders (MHFAiders®), having completed the main MHFA course.
Just like physical first aid, it is recommended that MHFAiders® attend an MHFA Refresher course every 3 years. This gives you the chance to renew your skills, update your knowledge of mental health support, and practise applying the MHFA action plan so you feel as confident as possible helping others in need of support with their mental health. If you’ve completed MHFA within this period, MHFA Refresher is for you.
