First Aid Training

Training that helps you respond to a crisis. Even when often, it can’t be seen.

According to many mental health charities, the number of people reporting mental health problems in the UK continues to rise.

Many people in our communities are in a mental health crisis. Learning the important skills needed to identify and treat mental health conditions is now a national emergency. It’s that’s serious.

As with a physical trauma or injury, delivering fast and effective mental health first aid is essential to prevent long term harm. And with suicide rates and self-harm statistics also rising sharply, it could even save a life one day.

LIVES’s Mental Health First Aid training has been developed in partnership with leading evidence based mental programme facilitators, including MHFA England. Our Mental Health First Aid training qualifies employees, emergency service personnel and ordinary members of the community as mental health first aiders.
