What Makes the Mental Health Essentials So Different?
Designed From The Ground Up
Unlike the standard Mental Health First Aid course, the Mental Health Essentials course has been designed from the ground up with the needs of workplaces in mind.
Recovery Approach
This course also uses a groundbreaking Recovery approach that gets results. This means that it’s focus is on recovery not illness. This may seem a subtle distinction, but…
Taught Differently
it’s a vital one. We don’t teach people how to look for problems that aren’t there; we teach them how to confidently & skillfully respond to first aid type situations so they can contribute to the mental health of their colleagues.
If you are interested in quality mental health first aid training specific to the workplace, great tools, awesome trainers, and information that leaves you confident, then you have to do this course.
“Straightforward, practical, well-presented content & very good presenters are the strengths of this course.”
Neil Baker,
