MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID ENGLAND TRAINING
I am an approved instructor with Mental Health First Aid England delivering adult and youth training.
I offer two and one day courses that provide different levels of knowledge and skill, but essentially focus on raising awareness around mental health conditions.
Each course has a maximum number of 16 delegates and can be done in person or online.
