Mental ill health costs UK Employers an estimated £34.9 billion each year – the equivalent of £1300 for every employee in the UK workforce.

Broken down, that’s £10.6 billion in sickness absence, £21.2 billion in reduced productivity and £3.1 billion in replacing staff who leave their jobs for mental

Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is an internationally recognised course which teaches people how to spot the signs and symptoms of mental health and provide help on a first aid basis.

Adult MHFA courses are for everyone 16 years upwards. Our courses are delivered by a quality assured instructor whom is trained to keep people safe and supported whilst they learn.
