One certification.
Mental Health First Aid England is a two-day accredited programme delivered across four structured sessions. It gives participants the knowledge, skills and confidence to recognise signs of poor mental health, have supportive conversations, and signpost people to appropriate help.
The course uses the ALGEE action plan and is built around real conversation practice, case studies, films and group discussion. Participants leave as certified MHFAiders: people who are ready, willing and able to support the mental health of those around them.
The MHFAider certification comes with three years of support through the MHFAider Support App, the MHFA England Online Learning Hub, and membership of the Association of Mental Health First Aiders.

I am one of a small number of trainers accredited to deliver both MHFA England and Scotland's Mental Health First Aid. For organisations with people in both countries, this means consistent training delivered by a single trainer who knows both programmes.
Online delivery available on request.
- Delivered anywhere in England only

A full evaluation report.
Not an add-on.
Within 10 days of the final session, you receive a professionally designed report covering learner ratings, feedback themes and course outcomes. Built into the cost because I care about whether the training actually lands, and because your organisation deserves evidence that it did.
Reports can be branded with your organisation's logo on request. Designed to be shared with a board, a senior team, or an L&D function.
The training
in their own words.
"Chris delivered the training sensitively and at a great pace. There was a great supportive environment throughout and I will use the skills I learned in all aspects of my life."
"Really enjoyed feeling more capable and prepared for more serious and intentional conversations. I feel motivated to help wherever I can."
"Chris was an excellent instructor, he was open and approachable and I felt he was very non-judgemental too."
