Description
The Youth MHFA Refresher course is a course for people who have previously completed the 12 hour Youth MHFA course within the last 3 years. The MHFA Refresher course will extend the certification or a further 3 years.
This refresher course will give participants the opportunity to refresh the knowledge and skills they learnt from the 14 hour Youth MHFA course.
This course consists of eLearning modules and one 3 hour instructor led webinar.
Modules take around 1.5-2 hours to complete (dependent on learner pace) and are required to be completed prior to your webinar. You will be enrolled in your modules 2 weeks prior to your webinar.
During this course participants will:
- Gain an understanding of the latest research in mental health
- Learn the 3 key actions for helping someone feeling suicidal
- Work through complex mental health first aid interactions
- Practice mental health first aid skills
- The content of each refresher course is based on guidelines developed through the expert consensus of people with lived experience of mental health problems and professionals.
Please note that participants may only attend a refresher course once. Participants will need to attend a full course when next they need to extend their certification.
