Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) Training in the East Midlands

Looking for face-to-face MHFA courses in the East Midlands?

Chatsworth House, East Midlands

Whilst lockdown has seen much MHFA training delivery permanently move online, there’s something to be said for good old-fashioned in-person training.

We can deliver our MHFA training in-person within a face-to-face classroom environment, at either one of our training venues across the East Midlands, your own site, or your choice of any other location.

Having originally started their training careers within corporate L&D and teaching, our MHFA instructors are particularly experienced at delivering an engaging experience within a classroom environment, and certainly know their way around a whiteboard and interactive exercise.

Indeed, we have a particular soft-spot for classroom-based MHFA delivery, as our MHFA instructors are real people-people at heart, and love to meet new faces and have a good in-person chat over a cup of tea and a biscuit or two.

And we think this format works particularly well for our MHFA training, since face-to-face discussion with course delegates from other organisations, walks of life, and different lived experiences can contribute so much to actually bringing the course material to life.

Which is why we’re delighted to be regularly delivering classroom-based MHFA training in the East Midlands.

Darley Abbey Mills

More specifically, we’re based in Derby, with our offices at the Unesco World Heritage Site of Darley Abbey Mills.

So, we have a whole host of spectacular history, rivers, and green open spaces right on our doorstep.

Take a look for yourself with a virtual fly around.

That’s actually the mill complex that contains our offices in the picture, with the River Derwent running past.

Nice, huh?

The site used to consist of multiple cotton mills powered by the river, with our main office previously housing a giant waterwheel!

This location hosts a fully accessible training classroom and also our main online streaming studio. It also acts as the base for our HR consultancy team.

MHFA Delegates

As you’d expect, our MHFA instructors are fully accredited by MHFA England, and have been delivering MHFA courses across the East Midlands for a good few years now.

However, unlike many other MHFA providers, our team members are also CIPD accredited, as well as being experienced Learning & Development (L&D) professionals and Human Resources (HR) consultants.

So, we have a fair bit more to offer than the average EatMmidlands MHFA provider, particularly in terms of the practical application of your learning to the workplace.

And on top of all that, our MHFA instructors are really nice, genuine, down-to-earth people. Not only can they explain complex material in an effective and engaging way, but they know how to deal with challenging subjects in a sensitive and empathic manner.

But don’t just take our word for it.

We think the numerous glowing testimonials and 5-star reviews from previous delegates of our East Midlands MHFA courses speak for themselves.

Well done Sarah
“This was a brilliant service, Sarah was great. Everything was broken down into bite sized pieces which helped us all to understand the processes. Our well being was her priority at all times, which was most appreciated. I would recommend this course albeit a dark subject at times but I can honestly say I learned a lot and it was most enjoyable on such a difficult subject. This course teaches and also changed my mind about mental health especially on how to approach it. Also the lunch and refreshments are great. Well done Sarah.”
MHFAiders for all
“The course was very informative and well delivered. A very friendly atmosphere. Good videos and course material.”
Fantastic MHFAider Training!
“A small group of us recently completed the 2-day MHFAider training with Sarah Loates and we were all very impressed with the content and the way it was delivered. Sarah was an engaging and knowledgeable trainer who made complex and sensitive topics feel approachable and manageable. Throughout the course Sarah ensured everyone felt safe and supported, especially though difficult conversations and created a respectful and open environment. Thanks to Sarah, we all left the training feeling much more confident in our ability to apply mental health first aid principles and are better equipped to support others than we were before. I would highly recommend this training and Sarah as a facilitator. Thank you!”
