Why choose us?

Imagine how safe the word would be if everyone had first aid skills and felt confident in helping others.

Coming from a very physical first aid training background plus being an Army reserve medic & Sports trainer, I could assist with the broken arm or sprained ankle. Though there was something missing.

Attending a mental health first aid course filled a gap for me in supporting a person effectively. 

I loved it so much I became an instructor  in 2009,  & then an instructor trainer. 

Many organisations use the Mental Health First Aid courses as continuing professional development (CPD) points.
