Mental Health First Aid for Managers

MHFA England® Course – Adapted for Leadership Responsibilities

Give your managers the confidence to support mental health safely, appropriately, and within their role.

Mental Health First Aid is about more than awareness, it’s about early intervention, confident conversations, and knowing where your responsibility begins and ends. This course combines the internationally recognised MHFA England framework with additional content tailored specifically for line managers.

Managers are often the first to notice when someone is struggling, but many feel unsure about what to say, what they can ask, or how far their role should go. This programme bridges that gap.

As MHFAiders®, your managers will be able to:

✔ Recognise early signs of poor mental health
Spot when someone may be struggling and provide appropriate first-level support and early intervention.

✔ Respond with empathy and confidence
Use active listening skills, reduce stigma, and have supportive conversations using safe, informed language.

✔ Signpost to the right help
Encourage individuals to access professional support, internal resources, and other sources of help without trying to “fix” the problem themselves.

✔ Understand the role, boundaries and confidentiality
Explore the MHFAider role in depth, including limits of responsibility, record-keeping, and protecting both the individual and themselves.

✔ Practise self-care
Recognise the emotional impact of supporting others and develop strategies to maintain their own wellbeing.

✔ Use ongoing support tools
• Access and use the MHFAider Support App®
• Understand how to use the Shout text service for additional guidance
• Engage in continued learning through MHFA England

Additional focus for managers

This course goes further than standard MHFA training by exploring:

• The impact of mental health on line managers

• Workplace legislation and duty of care

• The boundaries of the line manager role vs. the MHFAider role

• How to support staff while still managing performance and operational needs

Ongoing professional community

Learners continue their development beyond the course through membership of the Association of Mental Health First Aiders®, giving access to resources, learning, and a professional network.

This training helps organisations build a culture where people feel safe to speak up, while ensuring managers feel protected, prepared, and clear about their responsibilities.
