Mental Health First Aid Training Course

Empowering people to help people in the workplace, so everyone can perform at their best.

If someone around you was struggling with their mental health, would you know how to help? Most people want to be there for others but aren’t always sure what to say or do. That’s where the right training makes all the difference.

At Mindset Training, we offer a warm, practical, and nationally accredited Mental Health First Aid Training Course designed to equip you with the skills, language, and confidence to step in and support someone when they need it most. From identifying early warning signs to knowing how to respond in a crisis, this course helps you take meaningful action in real moments. Whether it’s a colleague, a friend, a neighbour, or a family member, you can be the person who makes a real difference — not just by showing up, but by knowing exactly how to help.

Why Take Mental Health First Aid Training Course?

Our Mental Health First Aid in the Workplace course is designed to change that by turning good intentions into informed action. You’ll learn how to:

  • Spot early signs of common mental health concerns before they escalate.
  • Have open, stigma-free conversations that make people feel seen and safe.
  • Support someone experiencing anxiety, depression, panic attacks, or even suicidal thoughts.
  • Connect them to the right professional help and continue to check in meaningfully.
  • Foster a culture of care, empathy, and psychological safety in your workplace or community.

This isn’t just a course, it’s a mindset shift. One that gives you the clarity, confidence, and language to look out for others with real empathy and practical skill. Because small actions, taken early, can have a powerful impact.
