Course completion

Certificate and learner materials

Certificate of attendance. This awareness course does not train or certify you as an MHFAider.

MHFA England lists a manual and workbook to use during and after the course.

Training gives you tools for initial support, not a clinical qualification or a substitute for professional care. Managers also need clear boundaries and appropriate workplace support pathways.
