Be well. Work well.
A thriving organisation starts with people who feel supported, understood and able to bring their whole selves to work. That’s why supporting and developing individuals to take on the role of a Mental Health First Aider is (MHFAs) is such an important first step in building a healthier, more open workplace culture.
Our FAA Level 2 accredited Mental Health First Aider course gives your team the confidence, skills and practical tools to recognise mental health concerns early and start supportive conversations that genuinely help.
And this year, we’ve enhanced the experience based on direct learner feedback, giving people more time for discussion, practise and real‑world application.
Upcoming virtual, open MHFA training.
Join us on our upcoming virtual Mental Health First Aider course taking place on: 7th & 8th October 2026.
The sessions run from 9:30am to 2pm, each day, delivered virtually via Zoom.
Post session there will be an individual 1 hour 1-1 support and qualification verification virtual call will be organised at a convenient time for the learner.
What’s new?
Before attending, each learner completes a 30‑minute eLearning module covering the core theory. This means:
- Everyone arrives with the same baseline understanding
- More time during the live sessions for questions, scenarios and facilitated conversations
- A chance to explore how to start wellbeing conversations with confidence
- Space to learn how to be proactive with mental health in their organisation
- A personal module certificate and ongoing access to revisit the content any time
This update comes directly from learner feedback. People wanted more discussion, more practice, and more time with the facilitator so we listened, and we’ve built exactly that.
What the course covers.
Our FAA Level 2 accredited course equips learners with the skills and knowledge needed to become certified Mental Health First Aiders.
Over the two-day programme, participants will:
- Understand mental health, its influencing factors and its impact in the workplace
- Explore the role of a Mental Health First Aider
- Learn how to support a person with a suspected mental health condition
- Understand when to signpost a person to seek professional help
- Develop awareness of depression, anxiety, psychosis, eating disorders, suicide, and self-harm
- Recognise and manage stress effectively
- Understand the impact of substance abuse on employment and lifestyle
- Implement a first aid action plan for mental health
- Recognise key factors in creating a positive mental health culture in the workplace
One often overlooked benefit is that people also gain space to reflect on their own mental health, something many attendees tell us is invaluable.
Plus, at PeopleUnboxed, we go the extra mile by including soft skills training to equip your employees with the ability to talk openly about mental health.
The accreditation received upon course completion is valid for three years, ensuring your Mental Health First Aiders remain well-equipped to make a real difference.
Why Mental Health matters in the workplace.
Too many people struggle in silence at work, because employee mental wellbeing is often neglected, concealed by stigma or fear of discrimination and this culture of silence comes at a high cost for employers.
When organisations invest in Mental Health First Aiders, they open the door to earlier conversations, faster support and a more human, connected culture.
Be part of this vital change and help your organisation thrive with a more human and connected wellbeing culture.
