Mental Health First Aid: Two Day Course
Our keystone offering is the Mental Health First Aid: 2 Day Course which takes place once per month at Mind in Haringey for up to 16 people, per course. It is particularly relevant for those who work in the public sector, such as GP surgery staff and police and fire officers, but is useful to anyone who would like to qualify as a Mental Health First Aider.
The course focuses on equipping individuals with the ability to recognise the signs and symptoms of common mental health issues and ways to respond in a supportive and appropriate manner. In addition to aiding you with an in-depth understanding of mental health and wellbeing, it offers practical skills that will give you the confidence to step in, reassure and support a person in distress.
How much does it cost?
The monthly Mental Health First Aid: 2 Day Course is fully funded for frontline staff in Haringey Voluntary and Community sector organisations, residents of Haringey, and volunteers, made possible thanks to funding from the North Central London ICB. For anyone outside of this criteria, the course costs £250 per person. Please note there is a £100 cancellation fee for all bookings where less than 48 hours notice is given.
Mental Health First Aid Half Day

Trauma Informed Practice Training
Knowledge and skills training for all workers who may come into contact with those affected by trauma. Will equip the participants with a basic knowledge of trauma, its effects, the kinds of situations that can bring back memories of the trauma and associated feelings and how these can impact behaviour.
