Thank you to Rebecca for the refresher course today. It has not only deepened my knowledge and understanding f mental health, but has also boosted my self-confidence in handling related issues. Thank you for the additional tools included in this refresher programme
To maintain competence and confidence in the role of a Mental Health First Aider, MHFA refresher training is required every three years.
Enabling your MHFAiders® to refresh their skills, the same way your physical first aiders do, is a great way to demonstrate your organisation’s commitment to treating mental health and physical health equally.
Investing in the course will keep MHFAiders® motivated, empowered and confident to carry out their roles, and give you the peace of mind that they can perform their duties effectively.
Attendees will have the opportunity to:
Keep their awareness of mental health supports current.
Update their knowledge of mental health and what influences it.
Practice applying the Mental Health First Aid action plan.
Attendees will receive access to a support and benefits package through the MHFAider Support App for three years including the following features:
Secure conversation logging for you to make reflective notes to record and reflect while protecting confidentiality.
Reminders for wellbeing check-ins with people you are supporting.
24/7 text support service through Shout, for advice and reassurance on a Mental Health First Aid conversation or to support your own wellbeing after a difficult conversation.
Resource library of toolkits, guidance, animations and core mental health concepts.
Signposting database to find local and national services for additional support.
Ensures your MHFAider's knowledge remains current, builds confidence in the role and provides an opportunity to discuss wider workplace wellbeing initiatives.
