St John Mental Health First Aid

St John Mental Health First Aid Training course

The reality is that someone we know or care about may need our help. How someone responds may determine how quickly a friend, work colleague or loved one gets the help they need. St John Mental Health First Aid Training course teaches participants the skills and knowledge to recognise and respond to someone experiencing these mental health concerns.

Who should attend? Those who are responsible for staff, interact with the public or anyone who wants to improve their knowledge around mental health and wellbeing.
