*CALLING ALL MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AIDERS*
Refresh your skills with Music Support and access three years of support and benefits!
If you are a Mental Health First Aider and it has been three years since your training, it’s time to refresh your skills! We believe that mental health should be treated equally to physical health and just like physical first aid, Mental Health First Aid training should be kept up to date. It is recommended by MHFA England that skills are refreshed every three years.
This 4-hour Refresher course will empower you to:
- Keep your awareness of mental health supports current
- Update your knowledge of mental health and what influences it
- Practice applying the Mental Health First Aid action plan
- Access three years of MHFAider® support and benefits
Those who completed MHFA in/before August 2020 are now due for a refresher to remain an accredited MHFAider. We will be hosting a refresher course on Wednesday 29th November (via Zoom) from 10am – 2pm. Please get in touch if you have any questions or would like to register to join us.
The session costs £150 per person. You do not have to have completed your original training with Music Support to do the refresher with us.
For further information or questions on any of our courses please contact us on learning@musicsupport.org.
At Music Support, we believe in change through education, learning and practice. Knowledge, new skills and a change of attitude towards mental health, including how we talk about it, how it is viewed in our industry and how we support those experiencing mental ill-health is vital if we are to thrive. We have trained nearly 600 industry peers in Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) since 2019, with more people than ever accessing our courses in 2022. With employers and freelancers recognising the need to promote better mental health in the music industry, our ambition is that every place of work and tour has a mental health first aider.
