Armed Forces 2 Day Mental Health First Aid Training

---

 This two day course qualifies you as an Armed Forces Mental Health First Aider, giving you:

• An in-depth understanding of mental health and the factors that affect well-being for the armed forces community.
• Practical skills to spot the triggers and signs of mental health issues.
• Confidence to step in, reassure and support a person in distress.
• Enhanced interpersonal skills such as non-judgemental listening. 
•  Knowledge to help someone recover their health by guiding them to further support - whether that’s self-help resources, through the MOD, the NHS, support charities, or a mix.

Places on the course are restricted to serving and ex-serving personnel, their family members, and support services who work with the armed forces community.
 

The cost for our open access courses is £220 +VAT per person and includes all learner materials, tea/coffee, and lunches. We do work with charities to deliver courses in-house or funded courses so please get in touch via mentalhealth@mhfa999.co.uk if your organisation would like to work with us.
 

Format:

• Learning takes place through a mix of presentations, group discussions and workshop activities.
• Each session is built around a Mental Health First Aid action plan.
• 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 receives:

• A certificate to say you are an Armed Forces Mental Health First Aider.
