Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is an internationally recognised training course, designed to teach front line practitioners how to spot the signs and symptoms of mental ill health and provide help on a first aid basis.

This training is valuable for practitioners supporting children who are at high risk of child exploitation and often present as high risk of self-harm , suicide and misadventure through emotional dysregulation, exacerbated by trauma.
