The role of a first aider for mental health is to provide basic mental health support or to be the first response to someone in need, usually in the workplace. The first aider for mental health is not clinically qualified to assess, diagnose or treat mental ill health but they will know the basic tools to listen to individuals who require first response support for their mental health. This qualification can be taken by learners preparing to enter employment or by those who are already in employment. This is a knowledge-only qualification that provides underpinning knowledge and understanding in relation to the principles of first aid for mental health, recognising mental ill health in self and others, supporting mental wellbeing in the workplace, understanding how to promote a wellness culture in the workplace and the importance of resilience and self-care for first aiders for mental health.

This mental health first aid qualification is assessed through completion of an open-response learner workbook which will be assessed and internally quality assured by the centre.

This qualification is aimed at learners who wish to become emergency first-aiders in the workplace. This qualification meets the requirements for training emergency first-aiders in those organisations that have identified that staff need to be trained to this level within their first-aid needs assessment. The qualification covers knowledge such as the roles and responsibilities of the first aider and how to assess an incident. The qualification also covers first aid skills in CPR and use of an AED, providing first aid to a casualty who is choking and dealing with external bleeding and hypovolaemic shock.

This qualification is assessed by a practical demonstration and a multiple-choice theory test.

This qualification is assessed by a multiple-choice examination and is provided by an accredited personal licence qualification provider (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accredited-personal-licence-qualification-providers/accredited-personal-licence-qualification-providers).

Please note that taking this course is the first step in applying for a personal licence and you will still need to apply for a personal licence with your local council, and pay any associated fees (more information for Shropshire here: https://shropshire.gov.uk/licensing/apply-for-a-licence-or-permit/new-personal-licence/).
