Mental Health First Aid – Refresher – 23rd January 2025.  09.30 to 13:30.

Only for Mental Health First Aiders or Mental Health First Aid Champions who completed their MHFA or MHFA Champion course within the last 3 years.

With MHFA Trainer Ali Uzzell

Mental Health First Aider – Refresher

If you are a Mental Health First Aider or MHFA Champion you have skills for life that support you and the people around you.

We believe that mental health should be treated equally to physical health – and just like physical first aid, Mental Health First Aid training should be kept up to date.

The four-hour MHFA Refresher course gives you the chance to:

· Renew your skills

· Update your knowledge of mental health support

· Practice applying the Mental Health First Aid action plan

· Access three years of MHFAider® Support and Benefits

Please note that the MHFA Refresher is only for people who have completed an  MHFA course or an Armed Forces Mental Health First Aider course.

Please note that the MHFA Refresher is only for people who have completed an Adult Mental Health First Aider, MHFA Champion, or Armed Forces Mental Health First Aider course.
Format

How often should MHFA England skills be refreshed?

Just like physical first aid, we recommend that Mental Health First Aiders and MHFA Champions attend a Refresher course every three years.

If it’s time to refresh your skills, book onto an MHFA Refresher course now and feel confident that you are performing your vital role safely.

If you are not able to attend this session please let us know in advance so that a place can be made available for another delegate.
