Mental Health First Aid is a nationally accredited training course designed to give participants the knowledge and skills to recognise the signs of mental ill- health and support someone to seek the right help. It covers the spectrum of mental health disorders from anxiety to psychosis, providing an in-depth knowledge of their signs, symptoms and treatments. The course is aimed at people without specialist mental health training, from family members and carers, to employers to people who are likely to come into contact with those at risk of poor mental health. On completion of the course all participants receive a Mental Health First Aid (England) certificate.

If you wish to book onto a course, or for more information, please Laura at Oxfordshire Mind on 01865 263730 or laura.epton@oxfordshire-mind.org.uk

Next year, courses will be run in Abingdon, Banbury and Witney (dates to be confirmed) so if you are interested in attending next year please let Laura know.
