Is this course suitable for staff induction?
Yes. It gives new starters a clear introduction to mental health and wellbeing at work and shows them where to go for support.
Does this course make me a mental health first aider?
No. This is an awareness course. It does not qualify you as a Mental Health First Aider or counsellor, but it gives you the knowledge to recognise the signs, offer support and signpost people to the right help.
Does the course cover what to do in an emergency?
Yes. It covers how to respond to urgent mental health concerns and where to find UK support services. If someone is in immediate danger, always call 999.
Do employers have to provide mental health training?
UK employers have a legal duty to assess and manage risks to their employees’ health at work, including work-related stress. Mental health awareness training is a practical way to support that duty and build a more open, supportive workplace.
