Further dates have now been confirmed for two more Mental Health First Aider (MHFA) training courses across 9^th & 10^th March as well as 19^th & 20^th April.

The response to our offer of an accredited two-day Mental Health First Aid training course has been excellent so far and while not all applicants will be guaranteed a spot at these sessions, a waiting list is in operation and further courses will be booked in throughout the year ahead.

All colleagues are invited to express their interest in joining us on a MHFA course by completing our form. To maximise attendance, colleagues are asked to first obtain preliminary agreement from their line manager before submitting the form.

A refresher course, taking place on 23^rd March for First Aiders who completed their training more than three years ago, has also been booked in. To register your interest in this course, please email [email protected].
