Mental Health First Aid is a nationally accredited 2-day 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 knowledge of their signs, symptoms and treatments. On completion of the course all participants receive a Mental Health First Aid (England) certificate.
It would benefit most people with limited existing knowledge of mental health, from family members and carers, to employers, to people likely to come into contact with those at risk of poor mental health.
We are able to offer the course free to residents and organisations in Oxfordshire with funding from the NHS Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Cluster and Oxfordshire County Council.
Places are still available. For more information or to book a place on the course contact Laura Epton on 01865 263730 or laura.epton@oxfordshire-mind.org.uk.
