Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training for organisations
Mental Health First Aid training helps people recognise early signs of mental health challenges, respond with care, and guide colleagues towards appropriate support.
I’m Nick Praulins, and I deliver accredited MHFA training for workplaces that want practical skills, shared language, and confident conversations - without turning managers into therapists.
What this training supports
This work is about confidence, care, and appropriate boundaries.
It helps teams and leaders:
notice early signs of stress and distress
respond calmly and respectfully
use language that supports rather than escalates
understand what “support” can look like at work
know when and how to signpost professional help
Who it’s for?
This training is often useful for:
people managers and team leads
HR and People teams
wellbeing champions and mental health advocates
teams working under sustained pressure
organisations that want stronger prevention and early support
What participants leave with
Participants typically leave with:
a clearer sense of what to notice and what not to assume
language that makes conversations easier to start
increased confidence and reduced “fear of getting it wrong”
a shared baseline for what supportive behaviour looks like at work
Format & delivery
Sessions can be delivered in person or online, and range from short talks to half-day or full-day learning sessions.
Format, group size, and focus are agreed in advance and adapted to your organisation and audience.
If you’re unsure what format is best, I’m happy to talk it through.
Important boundaries (what this is / isn’t)
This is not therapy, diagnosis, or crisis intervention. It’s workplace-appropriate learning designed to build awareness, confidence, and care.
