Mental Health First Aid FAQ
What is mental health first aid?
Mental health first aid (MHFA) teaches people how to identify, understand, and respond to signs of mental health issues, providing initial support and guiding individuals towards appropriate help.
How is mental health first aid training different from general mental health awareness?
Mental health first aid training focuses on practical intervention — how to respond in a crisis, give immediate support, and encourage professional help. Awareness training is more about understanding mental health and reducing stigma.
Does mental health first aid training help with legal responsibilities?
While MHFA training isn’t a legal requirement, it helps organisations meet their duty of care by equipping staff with skills to support colleagues’ mental wellbeing. More guidance at: https://www.hse.gov.uk/stress/mental-health.htm
Can mental health first aiders provide medical treatment?
No. Mental health first aiders are not medical professionals. They provide initial support, listen without judgement, and guide people towards appropriate professional help.
Is mental health first aid training suitable for managers?
Yes. It’s especially valuable for managers and team leaders who want to better support their teams and create a mentally healthy workplace culture.
Does the course cover handling mental health crises?
Yes. It teaches how to respond to situations like panic attacks, self-harm, or suicidal thoughts, with a focus on safety and appropriate action.
Will I receive a mental health first aid certificate?
Yes. A certificate is awarded upon completion, showing that you have completed accredited MHFA training.
How often should mental health first aid training be refreshed?
It’s recommended that mental health first aiders complete refresher training every 3 years to keep skills and knowledge up to date.
