At First Class First Aid, I’m passionate about equipping people with the skills and confidence to step in and make a difference when it matters most. That’s why we’re excited to announce that we’re now offering Mental Health First Aid training, helping people to recognise the signs of poor mental health and offer meaningful support, just like I already do with physical first aid.
I’ve teamed up with the brilliant team at Transpire Training, who specialise in delivering accredited Mental Health First Aid England (MHFA) courses. Through this partnership, we’re now able to offer a two-day Mental Health First Aid training course to individuals and workplaces across Norfolk and beyond.
What is Mental Health First Aid?
Mental Health First Aid is all about learning how to spot the signs that someone might be struggling, understanding how to approach the situation with empathy, and knowing what to say and where to signpost them for further help.
Just like with physical first aid, the sooner someone receives support, the better. Our Mental Health First Aid course gives you the tools to:
- Recognise early signs of mental ill health, such as anxiety, depression, self-harm, and more.
- Build confidence in offering first-line support.
- Learn how to start open, supportive conversations with someone in distress.
- Know when and how to guide someone towards professional help.
Whether it’s a friend, family member, colleague, or someone in your care, these skills can be life-changing.
Delivered with care and experience
I’ve chosen to work with Transpire Training because they share our belief that mental health training should be approachable, practical, and delivered with compassion. Their trainers are fully accredited by MHFA England and bring real-world insight into every course they deliver.
By bringing Mental Health First Aid into the First Class First Aid offering, I’m continuing to support local businesses, schools, and individuals with trusted, professional training that is tailored to your needs.
Why take this course?
Mental ill health is more common than most of us realise, and yet, knowing how to support someone through it isn’t something many of us are ever taught.
Taking part in Mental Health First Aid training not only helps you support others, but also:
- Improves your own understanding of mental wellbeing.
- Helps reduce stigma in your workplace or community.
- Creates a more supportive, open culture wherever you work or live.
You’ll leave the course feeling more confident, better equipped, and part of a growing network of people who are ready to step up and support others.
