At The Learning & Development Consultancy we deliver a range of nationally recognised,

evidence-based mental health training courses.

We believe in offering the best possible service and learning experience to our delegates and that is why all of our training deliveries are facilitated by two qualified Mental Health First Aid Instructors accredited by Mental Health First Aid England.

Courses can be delivered Face to Face (F2F) or online (OL). Tesimonials are avaliable on request.

MHFA

Qualify as a Mental Health First Aider

Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is an internationally recognised training course which teaches people how to spot the signs and symptoms of mental ill health and provide help on a first aid basis.

MHFA won’t teach you to be a therapist, but just like physical first aid, it will teach you to listen, reassure and respond, even in a crisis.

Learning is structured across four flexible sessions delivered within a two week period
