What Makes the Mental Health Essentials So Different?

Find Out More

Designed From The Ground Up

Unlike the standard Mental Health First Aid course, the Mental Health Essentials course has been designed from the ground up with the needs of workplaces in mind.

Recovery Approach

This course also uses a groundbreaking Recovery approach that gets results. This means that it’s focus is on recovery not illness. This may seem a subtle distinction, but…

Taught Differently

it’s a vital one. We don’t teach people how to look for problems that aren’t there; we teach them how to confidently & skillfully respond to first aid type situations so they can contribute to the mental health of their colleagues.

If you are interested in quality mental health first aid training specific to the workplace, great tools, awesome trainers, and information that leaves you confident, then you have to do this course.

““I would recommend this one day course to any workplace. Bringing staff together in a room to discuss mental health openly & in a safe, facilitated environment was invaluable. Loved the trivia quiz.”
