Half Day Mental Health First Aid Refresher Course

This course is suitable for anyone wishing to update and refresh their MHFA training. We recommend you do this annually.

OVERVIEW

If you are a Mental Health First Aider or MHFA Champion you have skills for life that support you and the people around you.

We believe that mental health should be treated equally to physical health – and just like physical first aid, Mental Health First Aid training should be kept up to date.

The four hour MHFA Refresher course will empower you to:

  • Keep your awareness of mental health supports current
  • Update your knowledge of mental health and what influences it
  • Practice applying the Mental Health First Aid action plan

Please note that the MHFA Refresher is only for people who have completed an Adult MHFA Two Day or One Day, or Armed Forces MHFA Two Day course.

WHAT IS THE FORMAT?

This is a half day course delivered via online video conferencing

We limit numbers to 25 people per course so that the instructor can keep people safe and supported while they learn

ON COMPLETING THIS COURSE, YOU WILL RECEIVE:

  • A certificate of attendance to say you are Mental Health Aware
  • A manual to refer to whenever you need it
  • A workbook including a helpful toolkit to support your own mental health

WHAT IS THE COST?

The business model of Mindful Butterfly allows for one place per course to be subsidised. Please contact me direct if you are a student, volunteer or on limited means.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD MHFA ENGLAND SKILLS BE REFRESHED?

Just like physical first aid, we recommend that Mental Health First Aiders and MHFA Champions attend a Refresher course every three years.
