Adult MHFA Refresher Training

MHFA Refresher Training

If you have trained as a Mental Health First Aider through a 2 day course, or are a MHFA Champion having completed a 1 day course, then you have skills for life that help with mental health and wellbeing for yourself and the people around you.

 At the Alliance for Learning, we share the same view as that of MHFA England – mental health should be treated equally to physical health. Therefore, just like for physical first aid training such as Emergency First Aid at Work, Mental Health First Aid training should be kept up to date. As such, completing refresher training every three years is recommended.

It is really good practice to ‘refresh’ your training.

This refresher training is comprised of a mix of presentations, group discussions and workshop activities. Like all MHFA training courses, there is a limit on participant numbers to ensure that the instructor can fully engage with those in attendance, keeping them safe and supported while discussing some difficult subject matter.

 The four hour MHFA Refresher course will support those in attendance to:

• Keep your awareness of mental health support current
• Update your knowledge of mental health and what influences it
• Practice applying the Mental Health First Aid action plan, and keep your knowledge of this fresh

Please note that this MHFA Refresher session is only for people who have completed an Adult MHFA Two Day or One Day course.
