We believe that mental health should be treated equally to physical health – and just like physical first aid, Mental Health First Aid training should be kept up to date. 

The MHFA Refresher course takes four hours to complete and will enable learners to: 

  • Keep their knowledge, awareness, and skills of mental health support current
