We all have mental health, just as we all have physical health. Although things are improving, stigma still exists around mental ill health.
As a society, we do not tend to know how to take care of our mental health like we do our physical health.
Through our network of Associates, we are able to deliver the industry recognised Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) England training courses: Adult MHFA half day, one day and two days.
These courses can be used as an introduction to mental health or in order to become a qualified champion or qualified mental health first-aider.
