Be clear about what you expect people to do after the training. Awareness, supporting a colleague and acting as a Mental Health First Aider are not interchangeable roles.
For employees who need a practical introduction to mental health, common concerns, stigma, self-care and how to respond supportively to colleagues.
For workplaces that want people with stronger skills in recognising concerns, starting conversations and signposting to appropriate support.
For organisations appointing Mental Health First Aiders, choose the qualification that gives learners the depth, boundaries and practical confidence the role needs.

Did you know?
Supporting somebody's mental health does not mean becoming their counsellor. Often the useful skills are noticing a change, starting a conversation, listening and knowing where to signpost.
About the training
Mental health training should help people feel more confident having a sensible conversation, not make them feel responsible for diagnosing or fixing somebody else. The role is usually about recognising concerns, listening, responding appropriately and knowing where support can be found.
We offer introductory awareness, workplace mental health training and Mental Health First Aider qualifications. The right level depends on what you expect the learner to do afterwards and how much responsibility the role carries.
Managers may also need to think about workload, communication, adjustments, absence and the wider working environment rather than treating every mental-health issue as something an individual employee must solve alone.
A trained Mental Health First Aider is not a therapist. Good training gives people boundaries as well as confidence: how to start a conversation, when to listen, when to signpost and when to seek urgent help.
