Overview
Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is an internationally recognised training course which teaches people how to spot the triggers, signs and symptoms of mental ill health and provide help and support on first aid basis. Just like physical first aid, MHFA will teach you to listen, reassure and respond, even in a crisis.
