Overview

Mental health first aid is just as important as physical health first aid. In partnership with Art4Space, the mental health awareness and training company It’s a Playground, will be facilitating the internationally recognised Mental Health First Aid training (England) course in-person in Lambeth, London. We run both Adult MHFA and Youth MHFA.

Outcomes:

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

What is included

Light refreshments throughout the course
A certificate of attendance
A digital manual to refer to whenever you need it
A quick reference card and lanyard for the MHFA action plan
A workbook including a helpful toolkit to support your own mental health
Some goodies which will also help raise awareness for the importance of looking after our health (mental, physical and social)
An invitation to join the Association of Mental Health First Aiders
All Mental Health First Aiders that train with Art4Space and It’s a Playground get access to monthly online wellbeing sessions for the duration of your certification
We will add some of our own wellbeing tips and exercises to help support your wellbeing

Things to remember

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
Refresher courses – Half day – £150 per person (£125 for Lambeth residents)

What you say

“I could not have asked for a better course to further my understanding and help others in Mental Health First Aid. I even implemented mental health first aid just two days after the course and used my knowledge gained from Laura to help my employee.”

GM, Mindset London

“I will continue to raise awareness of the importance of mental health and break down the stigma that surrounds it. I cannot recommend this course enough and strongly advise everyone to consider taking it.”

GM, Mindset London

“Both courses we’ve done with you now have been fantastic. We really believe in supporting our staff and the wider workforce so courses like this are really beneficial to us.”
