Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is exactly what you might think – a first aid approach to mental health. Originally founded and developed by Betty Kitchener and Professor Tony Jorm in Australia, MHFA has been successfully introduced around the world, in countries as widespread as Hong Kong, Singapore, Finland, Canada, USA and Scotland.
Mental Health First Aid England is a Community Interest Company (CIC), providing the MHFA and Youth MHFA instructor training programme. Approved instructors then go on to deliver either the MHFA or Youth MHFA course. Usually taught over two days, the course is evidence-based and has been developed and regulated by the National Institute for Mental Health in England (NIMHE). It covers the causes, symptoms and treatments of common mental health problems.
MHFA NorthWest provides this training throughout Lancashire and the North West. All trainers are accredited by and members of Mental Health First Aid England.
