Who should take an MHFA England course?
Anyone can benefit from Mental Health First Aid (MHFA). It is open to members of the general public. Families affected by mental health problems, teachers, health service providers, emergency workers, frontline workers who deal with the public, volunteers, human resources professionals, employers and community groups are just a few of the groups who have benefited from MHFA.
Mental Health First Aid covers a comprehensive range of common mental health conditions and their appropriate first aid interventions. The conditions covered range from psychosis to phobia, from bi-polar to anxiety, from schizophrenia to stress at work. From this point-of-view MHFA is highly intensive, detailed and excellently put together.
It is important to bear in mind that MHFA is more than mental health awareness. A good mental health awareness course may well be a good 'Level I' for those who wish to find out more about general mental health before deciding to go on to MHFA at 'Level II'.
