FAA Level 2 Award in First Aid for Mental Health
First aid for mental health training developing practical mental health support for organisation staff.
Who this course is for
Organisations whose staff need to develop first aid for mental health support beyond awareness. Whether level 2 is the right fit for your team is something we'll discuss with you on enquiry — we can help you decide between this and our level 1 or level 3 courses.
Practical focus
Discussion-based, practical training that develops first aid for mental health support within your organisation. Learners build practical understanding through discussion and scenarios relevant to their setting, not theory alone. This course does not qualify people to diagnose or treat mental health conditions.
Delivery approach
