Mental Health First Aid Training
iON Consultants is committed to fostering a culture of mental wellbeing through comprehensive training. We believe that caring for our mental health is as important as caring for our physical health.
Our Mental Health First Aid training programme is accredited by Mental Health First Aid England (MHFA®) and is designed to equip individuals and organisations with the knowledge and skills to provide vital support to those experiencing mental health issues and crises. This training goes beyond awareness; it provides participants with the tools and understanding needed to offer initial support to those facing mental health challenges.
Facilitated by MHFAider® instructors with a wealth of lived experience, our programme offers practical and interactive learning experiences in a secure environment, accommodating both classroom-based and online formats to suit your preferences. Engaging pre-course discussions ensure that training is tailored to your organisation's needs. On successful completion, participants receive the MHFA® Certification, attesting to their proficiency in mental health first aid.
