MHFA Training Courses

Everyone can take part of the course, from any sector or industry.

This awareness course can be a taster for the two-day adult or youth mental health programme, and/or can give support staff and volunteers sufficient knowledge for you to support them with MHFA-trained staff.

costs

We sometimes offer course places to individuals – we can always offer courses and further support to organisations

Our standard price for this course is £49+VAT per person. It is based on a course for 20 people (maximum number in each course is 25). This price includes trainer fees, expenses, registration, administration, insurance, manuals, evaluation and follow-up certification.

Prices depend on whether more than one MHFA Lite course is commissioned on the same day(s).

To purchase MHFA courses or to find out more, please contact us.

partners

We can do more than provide courses to organisations; we partner with them to identify mental health related training needs and support the development of their workforce learning and welfare, for example with RBL:

“KSL provided the Royal British Legion with mental health training courses for staff in our different regions throughout 2011. My dealings with them have always been on a positive note. We identified that there was a gap in our portfolio of training solutions regarding the support our staff were able to provide to our beneficiary community in respect of mental health. Having identified the issue, we contacted KSL as a recognised Mental Health First Aid training partner and discussed our client/beneficiary group alongside our staff’s own learning and welfare needs. Discussions were productive and progressed initially to the provision by KSL of eight MHFA courses and then to four pilot drug and alcohol first aid (DAAFA) courses.

One of the tutor-trainers who has delivered for us and is a director within KSL, Nick Coulter, has been heavily involved in the development of MHFA in the UK and is a registered Mental Health nurse practitioner with great facilitation skills and professional expertise. Our trainees have so far without exception rated the courses delivered as relevant, interesting and beneficial! All our interactions with Kevin and other trainers and the admin support team within KSL have always been highly professional, courteous and pleasant. They have invoiced us in a timely manner and to the quoted amounts, they have been flexible and responsive to our requests to tailor content when appropriate, and have been exemplary in their work to date.

Our commitments to workforce learning and outcomes in mental health are being recognised this month by MHFA England with a special award. We have recently commissioned advisory support to help us quality assure our mental health and substance misuse policies, practices and plans, for us to extend our own support and training capacity sustainably in 2012. I would have no hesitation in recommending KSL as a good partner or provider organisation; Kevin and Nick appear to have a lot of personal expertise and practical experience of working with adults and young people from the discussions we have had. I am sure they would be as responsive to any other organisation’s requirements as they have been to ours.”
