Mental Health Courses

St John Ambulance Cymru offers a range of workplace mental health courses because mental wellbeing at work matters and can have a significant impact on businesses.

In the UK, St John Ambulance is one of the voluntary aid societies (VAS) recognised by the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) as a standard setter for first aid training under the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981. Our mental health course portfolio follows St John Ambulance England standards, with optional FutureQuals accreditation available for our 2-day Mental Health First Aid course.

Our training team is ready to help you identify the right course for you and your organisation. Contact them at 0300 201 1999 or send an email and they will get back to you as soon as possible.

From Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) to Mental Health Awareness, we offer a range of mental health courses suitable for all industries and employees. We have also recently introduced three new courses: Mental Health and Menopause Awareness, Mental Health Advocate and Safeguarding Group B. Explore our course list below.

For groups of six or more, we can bring the training to you.
