Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) began back in 1997 in Australia and since then has developed into a training and Research Program which is currently delivered in 20 other countries.
Wales is one of the nations to have taken up MHFA which gives people the skills to help the one in four of us who suffer from mental health problems each year.
The earlier a mental health problem is detected and treated, the better the outcome and MHFA will provide you with the skills and confidence to support people in their time of need.
The Mental Health First Aid (Wales) site helps explain why you should take the course and what you will learn by taking it before helping you find a local course and instructor in your local area.
MHFA training saves and improves lives and takes just 12 hours to complete leaving you able to recognise the signs and symptoms of someone with mental health problems and to respond to their crises and support and signpost them towards the appropriate help.
