Mental Health First Aid Refresher

Our half-day MHFA Refresher course is designed for Mental Health First Aiders (MHFAiders®) who have held their certification for three years or more.

In the same way that physical first aiders refresh their skills, it is recommended that MHFAiders attend a refresher course every three years. This course provides an opportunity to:

•    Renew their skills and confidence in providing mental health support.
•    Update their knowledge of mental health and available resources.
•    Practise applying the MHFA action plan through group discussions, presentations, and workshop activities.

Upon completion, participants will be certified for another three years and invited to join the Association of Mental Health First Aiders, which offers:

•    Access to the MHFAider Support App®, including a 24/7 text support service, a national health services database, and self-care insights.
•    Entry to the MHFA England Online Learning Hub, with resources such as course manuals and MHFAider® guides.
•    First-hand insights from real people sharing lived experiences of mental health conditions.
•    Invitations to exclusive quarterly webinars for networking and skill development.
•    Regular monthly newsletters to stay updated with the latest mental health news and best practices.
