The two-day course takes place in a relaxed and supportive environment where each person is encouraged to learn and explore topics related to mental health and well-being. The primary focus of the course is to provide participants with the confidence and knowledge to support others, while also equipping them with tools to improve their own mental well-being.

The MHFA programme is practiced worldwide and certification is recognised in over 25 countries. The training is evidence-based, grounded in research and designed to be easily digested and incredibly thought-provoking.

Topics covered include: Depression, Anxiety disorders, Bipolar disorder, Eating disorders, self-harm and Schizophrenia
