Thank you for your interest in completing the Mental Health First Aid England half day awareness course. Please be aware this course does not qualify you as a mental health first aider.

In line with our Staff Wellbeing and Mental Health Strategy we have aligned our mental health training offer to different staff roles and responsibilities within the university. We are advising that this course is undertaken by those in pastoral roles such as senior tutors.

This course raises awareness of mental health. It covers: 

• What mental health is and how to challenge stigma
• A basic knowledge of some common mental health issues
• An introduction to looking after your own mental health and maintaining wellbeing
• Confidence to support someone in distress or who may be experiencing a mental health issue

Please complete this form to explain why you wish to undertake the course. If successful, you will then be booked on to the course of your choosing by our Learning and Development Coordinators.  

You can find full details of the content for each session on MHFA England's website -MHFA England awareness course
