With years of clinical experience assisting patients with mental health problems, our team of instructors is uniquely placed to deliver this gold-standard mental health training in your school. Having helped develop their English course materials, HealthFirst is proud to be a partner of ensa Pro Mente Sana and your course will be led by a certified ensa Mental Health First Aid instructor.

This training enables first aiders to respond confidently to someone in psychological distress and direct them to the support they need. If a preventative attitude to mental health is to be part of organisational culture, it is recommended that at least 10% of the workforce completes Mental Health First Aid training. We offer training to support the mental health of both adults and young people.

Our trainings include:

ensa Mental Health First Aid Focus Youth

Aimed at members of staff working with adolescents from 12 years old, this gold-standard mental health training is internationally recognised. It equips participants with the skills to recognise signs of mental distress in young people, as well as how to deliver first aid in both crisis and non-crisis situations.

An eye opener

“Brilliant program in providing practical guidance for supporting others with a range of different mental health challenges. Sensitive topics were handled eloquently & professionally by the really supportive and knowledgeable trainers. ”

Irina Marjina

Classes are very professional and well designed.

“I feel empowered and able now to offer an helping hand with real knowledge on the subject. Mental Health issue is a real issue with various forms. It might touch one day or the other someone around you or yourself. There are so many variations but once you know to identify and what to do, you can really make a difference.”

Oly Wood

The Mental Health First Aid training was an eye-opening and powerful experience.

“Mental Health is not an easy topic but the instructors approached it in a delicate, soft and very constructive way. They are very knowledgeable, passionate, experienced and genuinely love what they are doing. This helps a lot of participants to change their perspective around this critical and sensitive topic and break down the stigma slowly.”

Flora Bami

Dynamic and very competent Mental Health First Aid training.

“Emotionally tough topics were presented in a way that made participants feel safe to share some of their personal stories of mental health struggles which gave the course depth and emphasized its relevance in a special way.”
