Train as an Armed Forces Mental Health First Aider (MHFAider®) One in four of us will experience a mental health issue at some point in our life, but there are members of our community who face unique risks and challenges to their mental health. Long periods of time away from family during service, exposure to high stress situations and trauma, and the difficulty of adjusting between military and civilian life – all can impact on the mental health of serving and ex-serving personnel and their families. MHFA® won’t teach you to be a therapist, but it will teach you to listen, reassure and respond, even in a crisis – and even potentially stop a crisis from happening. Developed in collaboration with the UK’s leading military support charities, Armed Forces MHFA is tailored to the unique culture and mental health needs of the military community. For everyone in the armed forces community – serving and ex-serving personnel, their families and support organisations – our training gives you the skills to: - Stop a preventable health issue from escalating by spotting and addressing it early - Know how and where to access treatment if it’s needed, for a faster recovery - Help keep yourself, the people you support, your colleagues and your family healthy - Minimise the impact of mental ill health on work and life
