Mental Health First Aid
in the Workplace

QA Level 3 Award in Mental Health First Aid in the Workplace Training

Mental health is just as important as physical health, yet whilst we know how to take care of our own physical health, many people don’t know how to support friends, relatives or even colleagues who are experiencing poor mental health. This mental health first aid course will help you develop a greater understanding of common mental health conditions, as well as how best to support and guide someone to professional help.
