MHFA Champions have:

Through a mix of group activities, presentations and discussions, the course is built around a Mental Health First Aid action plan. Our in-house trainers are fully qualified and affiliated MHFA instructors.

Everyone who completes the course gets an MHFA manual to keep and refer to whenever they need it, and a certificate to say they are an MHFA Champion. You’ll also get a copy of the Line Managers' Resource, an invaluable source of advice on how to support an employee experiencing mental ill health.
