 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. "I recently attended a first aid course led by Mick .and he was absolutely amazing. I have a stutter, which can sometimes make these types of interactive courses feel a bit daunting, but Mick. was incredibly patient and kind from the start. He made the environment feel safe and inclusive, allowing me to focus on learning life-saving skills without any pressure. Highly recommend!"

''Really excellent mental health first aid training - one of the best training courses I've ever done. I thought the trainer was superb and handled some very difficult topics with rare insight and sensitivity.. I also loved the no frills setting in a courtyard behind a pub nestled in with lots of other interesting enterprises. Highly recommended and excellent value for money''

The training was absolutely engaging, complemented with plenty of e-learning and practical case studies, very professionally done! Thank you, would certainly recommend both Siren and the instructor to anyone in the future''

Andrea D.

''I participated in the two day online training. Although intensive, the training was very well led and highly informative. The provided resources are excellent and will support with the role of the MHFA. As with first aid, I would highly recommend this training for anyone, regardless of whether it is for a MHFA role within an organisation or for personal growth''

What is 1 day Mental Health First Aid Training?

Mental Health first aid is not unlike physical first aid: help offered for someone suffering from ill health, in this case, mental ill health. Mental Health First Aid courses will also teach you to spot earlier signs and symptoms of common mental health problems, such as anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, etc. With the knowledge and tools learned in the course, individuals will be able to to deliver mental health first aid before professional medical treatment is available. The aims of mental health first aid are to:

Preserve life
Prevent further harm
Promote recovery
Provide comfort to the person who suffers

Please note that as a qualified Mental Health First Aider, or someone who has undertaken a Mental Health First Aid course, you will not be able diagnose or treat, but you can identify symptoms of anxiety, depresion, eating disorders, amongst other challenges, and encourage someone to seek professional help.These courses do not teach you to be a counsellor or therapist, but will empower you to react and signpost when someone in mental distress may need professional help.

Who is it for?
