Mental Health First Aid Training
Level 2 or Level 3 Qualsafe Awards qualification regulated by OFQUAL.gov.uk
We recognise that people are becoming more comfortable talking about their mental health and as such employers need to ensure that the right level of support is available for their workforce to thrive. There is also strong evidence to indicate that high levels of mental health wellbeing in the workplace leads to reduced sickness and increased productivity.
It is with this in mind that we can offer two levelled courses which would help facilitate a more positive mental wellbeing working environment. Both of our courses are Qualsafe accredited and are Ofqual regulated.
