Online Workplace Mental Health First Aid

For workplaces requiring increased flexibility for staff. Blended Mental Health First Aid in the Workplace course is a combination of eLearning and a half day of live training.

Online Mental Health First Aid Training for Workplace’s

Discover the optimal blend of flexibility and interactive learning with the blended online Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training. Designed for managers, supervisors, and all team members, this course offers the best of both worlds: self-paced online content coupled with live sessions to consolidate the learning, available either face-to-face or through virtual delivery. This approach ensures comprehensive support and skill development for dealing with mental health issues in the workplace.

The course teaches managers, supervisors, and individuals how to assist a co-worker who is developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis. However, course participants will learn mental health first aid skills that can be applied to help any adult. Course content is tailored to the workplace setting using case studies, videos, and resources tailored to your needs.
