Learning takes place through a mix of presentations, group discussions and workshop activities. We limit numbers to 25 people per course so that the instructor can keep people safe and supported while they learn.

Everyone who completes the course gets:

  • A manual to refer to whenever they need it
  • A workbook including a helpful toolkit to support their own mental health
  • A certificate of attendance to say they are Mental Health Aware

This course is for those wishing for an overview of mental health and focuses on

  • Spotting signs of distress
  • Mental health conditions:
    • Depression
    • Anxiety disorders
    • Psychosis
    • Eating disorders
    • Suicide
    • Self-harm

Typical fees for open courses are £100 plus VAT; however this can vary for in house courses (dependant on location and numbers). The course fees are inclusive of the MHFA England workbook, manual and certification charges.

The MHFA England Mental Health Awareness course typically lasts half a day consisting of a 4 hour session starting at 8.30am.

We run open MHFA England courses regularly in our training centre in Rainham Kent or we are happy to travel to your location if suitable facilities are available.

It pays to be selective when booking training courses because not all training providers are what they appear to be. When booking a MHFA England Course you need to feel assured that your training provider is fully licenced to provide that training and is not then going to sub-contract the work. Lighthouse Safety Training Ltd are fully accredited by MHFA England to provide Mental Health Awareness and Mental Health First Aid courses.

PAYMENT
All accounts are payable in full prior to the start of any course.  Course results will only be processed once full payment has been received. Results are processed within 7 days of the course end. Should the payment not be received by this date your results will not be processed resulting in your course becoming obsolete. Payment can be made by debit/credit card and bank transfer. Please note that if paying by corporate credit card there is an additional 3% fee.

You may cancel a scheduled course and be refunded all course fees provided more than 30 working days’ notice (working days excludes all statutory bank holidays) is given.

In the event of cancellation within the 30-day notice period, the following charges will be applied.

  • More than 7 days to 30 days – ½ fees refundable
