The Centre for Mental Health has found that mental health issues cost UK employers an estimated £34.9 billion each year - the equivalent of £1,300 for every employee in the UK workforce. They found that simple steps to improve the management of mental health in the workplace will allow employers to save 30% or more of these costs – at least £10 billion a year.
As a result, the demand for mental health first aid courses has grown considerably throughout 2019. What support do you have in place for your staff to assist with your employees' mental health needs? Discover how a Mental Health First Aid course from Accelerator Solutions could be the first step in providing that support, today.
Accelerator’s delivery of the Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) qualified training is to help support you, your teams, customers, colleagues and even friends & family. Upon completion of the two-day programme participants become certified Mental Health First Aiders.
Our qualified trainers ensure that participants gain an in depth understanding of mental health and factors that can affect wellbeing. They will also learn practical skills to spot triggers and signs of mental health issues so they can support a person in distress, before it gets worse.

The Online Mental Health First Aid (OMHFA) is based on the content from the adult MHFA 2 day course with the same learning outcomes and certification for learners will take place over a 2 week period.
OMHFA is a blended approach of individual learning and 4 instructor-led live sessions. The individual self-orientated learning and live sessions will be hosted on the MHFA England online learning hub. Similar to the Adult 2 day MHFA course, each session is built around a Mental Health First Aid action plan.
