Will the course train me to support others experiencing mental ill health?

Accepted Answer

The two-day mental health first aid course will help participants to recognise the signs and symptoms of mental ill health and the basic knowledge of what to do next.  The course does not qualify participants to be counsellors or therapists, but it does give the tools to start difficult conversations about mental health, offer supportive conversations and signpost people to professional support.

Yes.  All courses are offered online, with a live instructor. No special software is required - just a computer and internet connection.  We'd be happy to give you a demonstration.
