Mental Health First Aiders (MHFA)

We have a number of staff and PhD students trained as MHFA all of which will have received 2-day Adult Mental Health First Aid training from MHFA England. The course equips first aiders with the following skills:

An in-depth understanding of mental health and the factors that can affect wellbeing
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 their employer, the NHS, or a mix

If you'd like a conversation re mental health or need signposting to further support, please contact any of us from the list below.
