Mental Health Training

Discover Mantra Training’s Mental Health First Aid courses. From awareness to TQUK qualifications, support workplace well-being and meet legal responsibilities.

Supporting mental health in the workplace is no longer just a nice-to-have – it’s a necessity. Just as physical first aid is essential for workplace safety, mental health first aid plays a vital role in ensuring the emotional well-being of your team. With growing recognition of its importance, mental health support is now becoming part of workplace first aid regulations, making it more important than ever to invest in the right training.

At Mantra Training, we offer a range of Mental Health First Aid courses to help your organisation respond to mental health challenges with confidence, empathy, and professionalism. Whether you need a formal qualification or a simple awareness session, we can help you find the right fit for your team.

Why Mental Health Training Matters

Investing in mental health first aid training doesn’t just support individuals, it strengthens your entire organisation. A team that’s trained to recognise and respond to mental health challenges is more resilient, more empathetic, and better equipped to create a positive work environment.

Whether you’re looking for certified qualifications or an accessible awareness session, we’re here to help you take the next step.

Throughout the course, you’ll explore how to recognise signs of mental health distress, provide initial support, and guide individuals towards appropriate help. The training includes real-world scenarios and practical role play, helping you develop not just knowledge, but hands-on experience too.

Level 1 Awareness in Mental Health

Our Level 1 Awareness in Mental Health course is ideal for those who want a basic but solid introduction to mental health. It’s particularly useful for organisations looking to promote mental health awareness across the wider team without diving into a formal qualification.

Participants will learn how to recognise early signs of mental health issues, approach someone who may be struggling, and offer appropriate support. The course helps reduce stigma and builds confidence in having supportive conversations.

Who is it for?
This course is suitable for anyone in the workplace or community – no prior knowledge required.

Flexible Learning:
The Level 1 course is available as:

A fully virtual session with a live instructor
A blended option combining eLearning with a shorter classroom session

This flexible approach allows teams to learn at their own pace while still engaging with practical elements and group discussions.

Bespoke Mental Health Training for the Care Sector

For those working in care, we also offer tailored mental health awareness sessions that address the specific challenges faced in care settings. These sessions are designed with input from care professionals and focus on practical support strategies for vulnerable individuals, including those living with long-term mental health conditions or cognitive impairments.

We understand that care staff often face emotionally demanding situations, so our bespoke training includes tools to support both residents and staff well-being. Sessions can be adapted for care homes, domiciliary care teams, and other health and social care providers.

Like our other courses, these can be delivered:

In person
Via live remote sessions
As part of a blended learning package

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A first class in first aid! Will from Mantra Training made our 3 day course informative, engaging and memorable. Our group were mostly complete beginners to first aid, yet his approach to teaching as well as plenty of practical demonstrations and exercises was conducive to learning, and so we all picked it up very quickly. No question was deemed silly and when answering it was clear he is very knowledgeable. If anyone is looking for a first aid training course, be it a beginners or a refresher course I recommend Mantra highly.
Thank you!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently completed a refresher first aid course with Mantra Training, and it was excellent! Huge thanks to Will, who ran the course—his knowledge and teaching style made all the difference. I was amazed at how much we learned, even after taking the course with Mantra three years ago. Will's detailed explanations and practical demos have given me real confidence to handle a wide range of situations, from minor burns to life-saving CPR. Mantra Training is our go-to for first aid training, and we'll definitely be back again. Highly recommend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very well-judged and engaging EFAW L3 (first aid at work) course.  Felt I learned a lot, and it was enjoyable.  A good level of questions / involvement was encouraged.  No hesitations from the instructor in answering any questions the class (~10 in number) came up with, which was good for building confidence.  Spot on.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great delivery of an emergency first aid course. Both Will and Mike were really helpful and friendly, with a wealth of knowledge. Our group consisted of people with a varied array of health issues, dyslexia and learning disabilities and everyone came away qualified thanks to the support received.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have done a lot of first aid courses, but Will managed to make it fun. He made the Heimlich manoeuvre & CPR so easy to understand that anyone could safe a life. I feel saver in the world knowing that more people know how to resuscitate as you never know when you’re going to need it. I highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
