What is the MHFA Champion Course?

The Mental Health Champion course is a one-day course designed to provide learners with the knowledge and skills to support individuals experiencing mental health issues effectively. The course aims to raise awareness of mental health and reduce the stigma surrounding it, while also empowering learners to make a positive difference in the lives of those around them. 

The course structure is divided into several modules, which cover a range of topics including:

Understanding mental health and its prevalence

Identifying the signs and symptoms of common mental health conditions

Providing effective support and guidance to those in need

Promoting mental well-being in the workplace and wider community

The duration of the course is one full day, typically from 9am to 5pm. This allows learners to fully immerse themselves in the material and practice their new skills in a supportive environment.

One of the key benefits of the Mental Health Champion course is that it provides learners with the knowledge and confidence to support others experiencing mental health issues.

By understanding the signs and symptoms of common mental health conditions, learners can better recognise when someone may be struggling and offer appropriate support and guidance.

This not only helps to improve the well-being of those in need, but also helps to create a more positive and supportive environment for everyone.

The course is suitable for anyone who is interested in supporting others with mental health issues, whether they be colleagues, friends, or members of the wider community. It is particularly useful for those who work in customer-facing roles or those who have regular contact with the public, as they may be more likely to encounter individuals experiencing mental health issues.

When learners attend the Mental Health Champion course, they can expect to gain a range of benefits, including:

– An increased understanding of mental health and its prevalence
– The ability to recognise the signs and symptoms of common mental health conditions
– The skills to provide effective support and guidance to those in need- 
– The confidence to promote mental well-being in the workplace and wider community

One example of how the Mental Health Champion course can be used is in the workplace. Organisations can create a more positive and supportive working environment by providing employees with the knowledge and skills to support their colleagues experiencing mental health issues. This can help to reduce absenteeism, improve productivity, and create a more positive culture within the organisation.

Mental Health FirstAid Training

There are several other mental health first aid courses available, including the Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) Aware, MHFA Refresher, and MHFA First Aid courses. The Mental Health Champion course differs from these courses in that it is specifically designed to provide learners with the knowledge and skills to support others experiencing mental health issues. While the MHFA courses focus more on providing first aid to individuals experiencing a mental health crisis, the Mental Health Champion course aims to empower learners to support and promote mental well-being in their daily lives.

In conclusion, the Mental Health Champion course is a valuable resource for anyone interested in supporting others with mental health issues. The course provides learners with the knowledge and skills to recognise the signs and symptoms of common mental health conditions.
