MHFA (Wales) is a 12-hour course which is funded and supported by the Welsh Government and its partners include the Public Health Wales, Health Challenge Wales and Mind Cymru. MHFA is in 21 countries in the world. The idea of MHFA is that people should be taught how to perform basic ‘first aid’ for those exhibiting signs of mental distress, just as they are commonly taught first aid for physical problems. MHFA improves mental health literacy and helps people to recognise the signs and symptoms of someone with mental health problems; to respond to various mental health crises, engage with, support and signpost people to appropriate professional help.
 

Why attend?

Mental health problems are extremely common with one in four people experiencing some kind of mental health problem in any one year. Not only will it help to increase your self awareness of the importance of mental health but it will help you to help others in your place of work and in your personal life.
 

Who should attend?

MHFA is for everybody. It is particularly helpful for people who deliver services to clients or for managers.
