Who is it for?
Anyone who has completed the MHFA England Mental Health First Aider course (the 2-day course, or the same course online). It doesn’t matter who you trained with. MHFA England recommends refreshing every three years. Its new Workplace Mental Health First Aid Standards also expect organisations to keep their MHFAiders’ training up to date on the same three-year cycle.
What you’ll cover
- What “mental health” really means, and what’s changed since you trained
- Your role as an MHFAider, and its boundaries
- Spotting the signs that someone may be experiencing poor mental health
- Putting ALGEE, the MHFA action plan, into practice in a real conversation
- Looking after your own mental health while you support others
What you get
- A digital MHFAider certificate, valid for three years
- A digital manual and a workbook to keep
- Three more years of membership of the Association of Mental Health First Aiders, with access to resources, ongoing learning and events
- Continued 24/7 access to the MHFAider Support App
Why refresh?
Mental health first aid is a skill, and like any skill it fades if you don’t use it. Some MHFAiders have a conversation every week. Others go months without one, and then someone needs them. The refresher gives you time to practise, share what you’ve learned since your course, and leave feeling ready again. If you lead a team of MHFAiders, our guide What does an MHFA Lead do? explains how to keep everyone’s skills sharp between refreshers.
Your questions answered
Do I have to have trained with Mental Health & Life?
No. Any MHFAider trained on an MHFA England course can book.
How long is it?
Four hours. Our online courses run 9.30am to 1.30pm.
When should I refresh?
MHFA England recommends every three years, to keep your MHFAider certificate and Association membership current.
Can you run it for our whole team?
Yes. We run private refreshers online, or face to face, for groups of 6 to 25. Get a quote.

Hi, I reached out to Richie after the course to say that he is by far, the most engaging trainer I have ever had on a course. We have more team members doing training next month and I hope they also have Richie.
