What Is Mental Health First Aid Training?

Mental Health First Aid training teaches participants how to:

• Recognise the early signs of common mental health difficulties

• Respond appropriately to someone experiencing emotional distress

• Offer initial support and reassurance

• Encourage professional help and self-care strategies

Just as physical first aid helps in a crisis, Mental Health First Aid equips people with the tools to respond calmly, confidently and compassionately when mental health issues arise.

All training is delivered by Anna Dance, a qualified counsellor with professional experience supporting individuals with a wide range of mental health challenges. Anna brings a compassionate, real-world perspective to Mental Health First Aid training, combining clinical knowledge with practical strategies that participants can use immediately.

Her approach is:

• Trauma-aware and person-centred

This ensures training feels relevant, safe and meaningful for everyone involved.
