Expanding Support: Mental Health First Aid Training Now Available
In response to growing awareness around mental wellbeing, First Aid Course Leeds has introduced Mental Health First Aid Training to its suite of accredited programmes. With mental health challenges now affecting 1 in 4 people in the UK each year, the company recognises the urgent need for training that goes beyond physical injuries—equipping individuals to spot the signs of mental distress and provide initial support.
The Mental Health First Aid course is designed for employers, HR professionals, line managers, educators, and community leaders who want to foster healthier, more compassionate environments. Trainees learn how to recognise early warning signs of stress, anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and suicidal thoughts. They are also taught how to listen non-judgmentally, provide reassurance, and guide individuals towards professional help where needed.
“Just as we train people to save lives in a cardiac emergency, we believe it’s equally important to empower them to act in a mental health crisis,” says Derek Bruce. “Our mental health first aid courses are a crucial step in removing the stigma and ensuring that workplaces and communities are supportive, understanding, and equipped to help.”
The course is aligned with current best practices in mental health care and aims to create a ripple effect—building supportive cultures across Leeds and West Yorkshire, one trained individual at a time.
