Mental Health First Aid Training
What Does Mental Health First Aid Training Unlock?
Mental health first aid training is not about turning employees into therapists. It is about creating a workforce that is aware, informed and capable of responding appropriately in the moment. Trained mental health first aiders provide a vital first point of contact. That’s someone who can listen without judgement, offer reassurance and help a colleague access the support they need.
The programme explores the factors that affect mental health in the workplace: workload, change, uncertainty, isolation and the stigma that still surrounds mental health conversations. By addressing these openly, the training helps to shift culture, making it safer for people to speak up and seek help.
How is Mental Health First Aid Training Delivered?
Mental health workplace training from First Ascent is available in a range of formats, from the full two-day Mental Health First Aider qualification to shorter awareness sessions for teams and managers. All programmes can be tailored to your sector and workforce, ensuring the content feels relevant and resonant.
