Over 1.5 million people contact Mental Health services in the UK each month. That's over 2% of the population. At First Response Training, we believe effective education is essential to support the millions of people who experience Mental Health problems. We offer training in a wide range of topics, from general introductory courses to specific conditions. Before they are awarded a certificate, the learners will usually need to pass an assessment.

Delivery Methods

Our Mental Health courses can be taught as traditional in-person classes, online webinars via videocall, and eLearning. First Response Training has over 100 trainers, located throughout England, Scotland and Wales, available to travel to your chosen location for classroom training. Our online webinars are all led by a qualified and experienced trainer who will cover all course materials, answer questions, encourage discussions, and present an assessment, just as they would in classroom training. eLearning is available online and can be completed by the learner in their own time. Once you have chosen your course and delivery method, your own account manager will select the right trainer and, if necessary, help you organise a venue.
