More about this course
This qualification is designed to give learners the knowledge and understanding needed to recognise when someone may be experiencing a mental health issue and to provide appropriate support in a workplace setting. It supports the role of a Mental Health First Aider and is also intended to help employers meet responsibilities linked to the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981.
The course helps learners build an understanding of mental health and mental ill-health, the impact poor mental health can have on the individual, others, and the organisation, and the importance of reducing stigma and promoting supportive conversations. It also covers workplace responsibilities, including relevant considerations around equality, health and safety, and data protection.
Learners will develop awareness of a range of common mental health conditions and how to support somebody who may be affected. The content includes recognising and supporting individuals experiencing psychosis, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia, as well as understanding harmful coping strategies, including eating disorders, and how to recognise and support somebody who may be in suicidal crisis.
This is a Level 3 Award with 12 guided learning hours, 15 total qualification time, and a validity of 3 years. Learners must complete the single mandatory unit, Undertaking the Role of a Mental Health First Aider, and the qualification is graded pass or fail.
This course gives learners the opportunity to gain a formally recognised regulated qualification. If you require funding, a regulated qualification is often required. Phone us and we can advise if needed. If you choose our course leading to a regulated qualification, there are additional assessment criteria to be undertaken with an instructor and a small extra certification charge.
