What will I learn?
Learning takes place through a mix of teaching, video clips, exercises, group discussions and activities. MHFA is a practical skills and awareness course designed to give you:

− A deeper understanding of mental health and the factors that can affect people’s wellbeing, including your own

− Practical skills to spot the triggers and signs of mental health issues

− Confidence to step in, reassure and support a person in distress

− Enhanced interpersonal skills such as non-judgemental listening

− Knowledge to help someone recover their health by guiding them

− How to look after your own mental well-being, remain resilience and get the most out of life.

As part of the new MHFA course, learners now get access to a package of support that includes access to the MHFAider Support App®, exclusive resources and ongoing learning opportunities. These benefits and being part of England’s largest community of MHFAiders® will help them carry out their role confidently and effectively.

Through the app, they will have access to a dedicated 24/7 text service provided by Shout. This is what we believe makes the MHFA course unique.
