What to Expect
We aim to create a supportive and inclusive environment for all learners. Given the sensitive nature of topics like suicide and self-harm, we understand that some subjects may be challenging. If at any point you feel uncomfortable, you're welcome to pause or take a step back. If you're booking for someone else, please ensure they're prepared to engage with these sensitive subjects.
If you have any concerns or are unsure whether the course is right for you, our team is available for a confidential conversation to provide further guidance.
How Is the Course Assessed?
The assessment for the Mental Health First Aid course is continuous and based on practical engagement. You will participate in discussions, group exercises, and role-playing scenarios that demonstrate your understanding of the course material. There are no formal written exams; instead, the focus is on your active participation, confidence-building, and application of the skills learned. You may also complete short quizzes throughout the course to assess your knowledge and reinforce key takeaways.

🎯 Boundaries, Safeguarding & After-Care
