Mental Health First Aid Training

The BSIA has developed practical, security-focused Mental Health First Aid training through a two-day course, in-person. 

What is Mental Health First Aid?

Mental Health First Aid training is designed to improve understanding of mental health and give individuals greater confidence when supporting someone who may be struggling.

The training helps create more informed and supportive workplaces by enabling people to recognise when a colleague may need help, approach conversations around mental health with greater confidence and encourage access to appropriate support.

Why Mental Health First Aid matters

Creating a mentally healthy workplace is about more than raising awareness. It is about giving people the confidence to recognise concerns, start supportive conversations and understand where someone can go for further help.

By developing Mental Health First Aid skills within your organisation, you can help create a workplace where conversations about mental health are easier to have and employees feel better supported.
