First Aid for Mental Health

Safewell’s one-day qualification provides learners with the knowledge to recognise a range of mental health conditions, how to start a supportive conversation, and when and how to signpost a person to seek appropriate professional help.

Each year, approximately 1 in 4 people in the UK will experience a mental health condition, and at least 1 in 6 employees experience common mental health problems in the workplace. Mental health conditions are often hidden due to stigma and fear of discrimination, and research has shown that a culture of fear and silence around mental health is costly to employers.

Our First Aid for Mental Health face-to-face training gives learners an in-depth understanding of conditions such as stress, depression, anxiety, also those related to drugs and alcohol, along with the practical tools required for managing them.

Successful participants will receive a Level 2 Award in First Aid for Mental Health, certificated by an Ofqual regulated awarding organisation and valid for three years.

In-person training can be delivered at our location in Wiltshire or at customer premises.

Thank you to Safewell for delivering the Mental Health First Aid course, a challenging subject delivered by the trainer sensitively. The session was informative and engaging from the outset and the trainer reflected the needs of the trainees in his delivery, making topics light hearted when appropriate.

I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to build their knowledge and understanding of the challenges of mental health and how best to support individuals both in the workplace and life in general.
