I wish that the stigma about mental ill health was long gone – but sadly it isn’t. I don’t know about you, but I need support from time to time.

I believe that Mental Health First Aiders (MHFAiders®) are crucial in supporting their colleagues – but they need support, too. This is why the Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) course is the best yet. I am proud to be training MHFAiders® that are supported long after their training is completed, with 24/7 access to resources through MHFA England’s digital app.
