2-day First Aid for Mental Health for Supervisors

This two-day qualification is designed for supervisors, managers, and team leaders responsible for staff wellbeing who want the confidence and skills to respond appropriately to mental health concerns at work.

Poor mental health culture contributes to sickness absence, reduced productivity, higher staff turnover, and avoidable conflict. This course supports a proactive approach by helping supervisors recognise concerns early, have safer conversations, and support staff before issues escalate.

Participants gain a practical understanding of common mental health conditions and crisis situations, learn how to spot early warning signs, and develop confidence in having sensitive conversations — including asking difficult questions around self-harm and suicide — while maintaining clear professional boundaries.

Training is delivered by an experienced NHS doctor using realistic, experience-led scenarios grounded in frontline clinical practice. Delivered in association with NUCO Training, this Ofqual-regulated, HSE-compliant qualification is usually delivered online, with in-person delivery available on request.
