Adult/Workplace Mental Health Champion Training Course (1 Da

---

 With the current C-19 virus situation all in person courses are suspended to prevent large groups gathering together. However MHFA England are currently adjusting the materials to make the 2 + 1 day MHFA courses deliverable online via video conferencing software. MHFA999 LTD is one of those providers who will be approved to deliver in this way, so when the courses become available we will be setting new dates as soon as possible. 

This one day course qualifies you as an MHFA Champion in the workplace, giving you: 

• An understanding of common mental health issues  
• Knowledge and confidence to advocate for mental health awareness
• Ability to spot signs of mental ill health 
• Skills to support positive well-being
   

The cost of our open access courses is £120 +VAT per person and includes all learner materials, tea/coffee, & lunch.  Due to the current situation with the C-19 virus we are delivering the course for a reduced cost of £99 +VAT (£118.80 INC) to reflect the fact that we are not paying for a physical venue and refreshments. 

Costs for in-house training for your organisation can be requested by e-mailing us via: mentalhealth@mhfa999.co.uk 

Format:

• One day face to face course
• Learning takes place through a mix of presentations, group discussions and workshop activities
• We limit numbers to 16 people per course so that the instructor can keep people safe and supported while they learn

Everyone who completes the course gets:

• A certificate of attendance to say you are an MHFA Champion
• A manual to refer to whenever you need it
• A quick reference card for the Mental Health First Aid action plan
• A workbook including a helpful toolkit to support your own mental health
