Mental health first aid (mhfa)
Newport Mind is very pleased to be hosting “Mental Health First Aid” training which is particular relevant for those who are likely to come into contact with people who are at risk of experiencing mental distress such as police, nurses and community workers.
With one in four of us affected by mental health problems each year, service providers across Wales are being offered a new short training course to deal more effectively with these challenges.
