Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is a training course which teaches people how to identify, understand and help someone who may be experiencing a mental health issue.
MHFA won’t teach you to be a therapist, but it will teach you to listen, reassure and respond, even in a crisis – and even potentially stop a crisis from happening.
The course content is by Mental Health First Aid England. For a full breakdown of the two-day course visit the MHFA website.
Jennifer Rawlinson is an accredited MHFA Trainer with over 13 years experience of supporting people with mental health in the workplace. Jennifer says:
“I have first hand experience of understanding how mental ill health can impact an individual in the work environment and have vast experience of effectively supporting individuals to flourish in the workplace.”
“My focus is to make workplaces safe places. Where people can talk about their mental health and gain the support they need from their line manager and colleagues without being judged.”

Being trained as a Mental Health First Aider is as important as being trained in physical first aid. Although things are improving, stigma still exists around mental ill-health.
As a society, we tend not to look after our mental health like we do our physical health. This means we may not know how to support someone experiencing mental health problems, or where to go for help with our own mental health. This is something that MHFAs in the workplace can support with.
After becoming a MHFA, you’ll have access to continuous support, so you are confident, empowered and motivated to carry out your role.
