Spot the warning signs
In the same way as learning physical first aid, MHFA teaches people how to recognise those crucial warning signs of mental ill health and feel confident to guide someone to appropriate support. Embedding MHFA training within any organisation or community also encourages people to talk more freely about mental health, reducing stigma and creating a more positive culture.
How to become a Mental Health First Aider
The Working Well programme is proud to be able to provide Essex businesses the opportunity to receive Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training. During the current Covid-19 restrictions we can offer your organisation online Mental Health First Aid England training. Once restrictions lift we will return to also offering the face-to-face option.
The MHFA training can be a bespoke, in-house training or at a site based in Essex. Training courses are run every month. To date the Working Well team have trained 2000+ staff in Mental Health First Aid and Mental Health Awareness.
Working Well can also offer two bespoke, in-house stress workshops (both free of charge). These include the following:

“The course gave a very good overview of the issues. I enjoyed the relaxed teaching style with the mix of powerpoint videos and interactive elements. The trainer was very professional and friendly”
