Are you someone a young person looks up to - like a parent, teacher, youth worker, or carer?

You might notice when something’s not quite right- but do you know how to best support them when they’re struggling with their mental health?

The Youth Mental Health First Aid course by Mental Health First Aid England is designed for people just like you - trusted adults in a young person’s life.

By booking onto the Youth MHFA course, you will gain:

✅ Practical skills to spot the early signs of poor mental health in young people
✅ Confidence to have supportive, potentially life-saving conversations
✅ Knowledge on how to signpost to appropriate help and keep them safe
✅ Ongoing support through the MHFAider Support App® and access to exclusive resources via the Association of Mental Health First Aiders®

Being part of a community can make life feel more meaningful and enjoyable, help us feel happier and safer, and improve our mental health.

Going for a walk with someone.
Asking someone how they really are.
Or just sitting in silence next to someone who’s having a hard day.
It’s easy to think we need to have the right words, the right solutions.
But most of the time, just showing up is enough.
This week has been a reminder that connection doesn’t have to be loud. It just has to be real.

A limited Number of places are available to train as a Mental Health First Aider on the 16th and 17th June in Stourbridge at The Mary Stevens Hospice.

Stress is something we all experience, it arises from various aspects of our life, 70% of people at work exprience stress at work, demanding workloads, leadership styles, team dynamics, long hours, commuting, organisational culture, and job stability concerns.

A reminder of the importance of prioritising mental well-being and building resilience, small changes, like practicing mindfulness, setting boundaries, and finding moments for self-care can make a big difference. Let’s take a moment to acknowledge our stress and support each other in managing it.

Show your commitment to your team’s well-being and help create a resilient workplace by equipping your team with Mental Health First Aid training.

“Lynn is a fantastic instructor; she has a very calming aura about her and she delivers the course with such grace. Lynn ensured that we all felt okay and took things at a good pace for us all. I would highly recommend anyone to attend a course delivered by Lynn. I gained a lot from this course not only for others but myself too. The small group really put me at ease as I do struggle with huge groups of people that I don't know. Overall, I now feel confident enough to be able to help someone who is struggling with their mental health.”Learn
