Participants will learn how to identify potential mental health concerns, start supportive conversations and guide individuals towards appropriate professional support.

The course is short, accessible and ideal for those seeking a foundational understanding of mental health first aid. Successful participants will receive the Award in Awareness of First Aid for Mental Health qualification.

Qualification

Your Awareness of First Aid for Mental Health certificate is valid for three years from the date you complete the course. To renew your qualification, you must attend a further 4-hour Awareness of First Aid for Mental Health training course.

The Awareness of First Aid for Mental Health qualification is a nationally recognised and accredited award. At First Aid Exeter, we exceed the minimum standards required by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) for first aid training providers.
To learn more about how we meet and surpass these standards, please click here.
For further information on the HSE’s guidance for selecting a first aid training provider, please click here.

In 2013, the HSE deregulated the first aid training industry, meaning externally regulated certification is no longer required. However, some specialist or high-risk workplaces may still require externally regulated qualifications. If this applies to your organisation, please let us know before booking and we will be happy to advise you.
