Did you know that 1 in 4 people in the UK are likely to experience a mental health issue each year? This cost of mental health problems in the UK is a very worrying £117.9 billion. Therefore, it's important for organisations to provide pro-active support to employees, to ideally stop mental health problems arising in the first instance. In the unfortunate instance that they do arise, the next step is to recognise them, and act and support accordingly. This course can help you do both. Mental health is just as important as physical health, yet whilst we know how to take care of physical health, many people do not know how to support relatives, friends and even colleagues who are experiencing poor mental health. Although this course is primarily used to support others with mental health concerns, it is also useful for recognising signs in yourself.

By developing a greater understanding of common mental health issues, as well as how best to support and guide someone experiencing poor mental health. Mental Health First Aiders play a vital role in reducing  the stigma associated with mental health in the UK.

I have just completed a first aid at work course here and could not of been any happier. All the staff were very welcoming & helpful, it was a great office space with amenities. I have done many first aid courses in the past with various providers & I can honestly say this is the best one I have attended. I loved that it was a smaller group, therefore we could have discussions/ask questions, and it made the practical side much easier than previous courses as Ian (the instructor) could watch what we were doing on a more 1-1 basis and guide us if we went wrong. Also, it was great that Ian was a working paramedic, therefore he had so many personal scenarios that he could share with the group relating to the topic we were covering, it was really nice to have someone who does this on a day-to-day basis, rather than previous providers who have taught for a long time, rather than working on the job.Overall I would 100% recommend and I will be making sure all our operatives at work use The Hive 🙂 Many Thanks.

The course was very interesting, enjoyable and helpful. We covered a lot of different aspects with combination of role play and videos. Our trainer Binny has big experience and excellent professional skills and made us feel ease and guided through the course.

I did Paediatric first aid course today and also did the top up online course. The online course was easy to navigate and could do it at my own pace which worked around my working shifts.Then I did the face to face course today. Ian Bennington was friendly down to earth and professional, he put us at ease straight away. He explained everything clearly and made sure we understood what to do.Highly recommended

Throughout the years I have taken various first aid courses, however as a first time mum I decided to take the paediatric first aid course so I could learn first aid techniques specifically for babies and children. I wasn’t sure what to expect from the course but it far exceeded any expectations I had. The course was well organized and the instructor Dr Emma was brilliant. This is the first time I’ve had a medical professional teach me a first aid course and I can honestly said it made such a difference in how the course was taught. Dr Emma broke the first aid course down into simple and easy techniques to remember and I felt a lot more prepared and confident by the end of the class. Highly recommend this class!
