MHFA Course Information

Half-day Mental Health First Aid Refresher

Following the Latest MHFAEngland guidelines it is recommended that you complete a Refresher course within 3 ½ years of the original date of your 2-day course. This is to keep you up to date with the latest research, support services and remind you of keeping yourself safe whilst in the role of MHFAider®. If this lapses then you will be required to complete the full 2-day course.

 

The MHFA Refresher course takes four hours to complete and will enable learners to:

  • Keep their knowledge, awareness, and skills of mental health support current,
  • Update their knowledge of mental health and what influences it,
  • Practice applying the Mental Health First Aid action plan.

 

Once you have completed your MHFA Refresher course, you will be certified for three years and will be invited to become or stay a member of The Association of Mental Health First Aiders making sure you have everything you need to feel confident when supporting others.
