Learn How To Help

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.
