Description
Available for individual participants and groups wishing to book.
The eAMHFA Wales course teaches adults how to provide Mental Health First Aid to friends, families and co-workers and can be completed from the convenience of your home or office, without the need to travel and at your own pace through interactive modules and webinars online.
Mental Health First Aid is the help provided to a person who is developing a mental health problem, experiencing a worsening of an existing mental health problem, or in a mental health crisis. The first aid is given until the appropriate professional help is received or the crisis resolves.
There are compulsory interactive modules to be completed prior to your first webinar and another set in between your first and second webinar. Each set of modules will take around 2-3 hours to complete, depending on individual learner pace and each 3 hour webinar must be attended live in order to gain certification. Participants will gain access to the modules 2 weeks prior to their first webinar.
