MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS
Mental Health Awareness
Training Courses
Firstly, is the Mental Health Awareness instructor-led training, an interactive half-day course, designed to be an ideal starting point to learn about mental health.
The Mental Health Awareness courses have been created by MHFA Wales and can be delivered to delegates across the whole of the UK.
They serve as an ideal first step in the journey to learning about mental health. Both of the Mental Health Awareness courses are beneficial for all staff to undertake in order to build the solid foundations that underpin your company’s Mental Health Policy in your workplace.
Alternatively, is the e-Mental Health Awareness course where the delegate accesses the e-learning hub for an individual learning experience without an instructor. This is useful for organisations who may find it challenging to bring together a group at any one time for their awareness course.
Invest in mental health for the benefit of your organisation.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The cost of the instructor led training group course is £85 per participant. Individuals have the option or the e-awareness course which is solely online learning using modules on the MHFA e-learning hub which is £30 per participant.
This is a common question, mainly due to the fact that the Mental Health First Aid courses are strictly licensed for separate countries. The Awareness course is not licensed by MHFA International and therefore is not restricted in the same way.
The Mental Health Awareness course is an ideal foundation course that complements the MHFA Wales Mental Health First Aid courses.
Ideally, all members of staff should complete this course as it will broaden mental health knowledge and understanding in your organisation. Alongside your staff trained in Mental Health Awareness, a target of 10% of staff trained in Mental Health First Aid will provide an ideal support network for mental health in your organisation.
The course is delivered via Teams or Zoom.
