MHFAiders® bring valuable and essential support to workplace communities, and workplace mental health and wellbeing programs.

At Mind Matters we understand the importance of providing ongoing support and a ‘safe space ‘ for MHFAiders® to reflect. Many MHFAiders® volunteer for the MHFAider® role in addition to their usual workplace duties, and it is important to ensure their contributions are appreciated and that they feel supported as an MHFAider®

If you want your MHFAiders to feel valued, empowered and feel that they are part of a growing community, with a sense of ‘belonging’ then aftercare is an essential part of this journey.

Mind Matters offers a 2-hour facilitated session to support ‘MHFAider® Aftercare’ and the opportunity for your MHFAiders® to network and share best practices with other members of the MHFA England MHFAider® community.

The 2-hour session will cover:

Communicating the MHFAider® role to others
Reflections on first aid support provided since qualifying as an MHFAider®
Ongoing support for MHFAiders®
Continued development for MHFAiders® and the RSPH City & Guilds Level 3 Award in Mental Health First Aid
Revisiting boundaries and self-care
MHFA and wellbeing strategies
What our learners said…

“The trainer ensured this course was both informative and interactive and it was a pleasure to attend. It would be good to have a quarterly catch up as a business for all the MHFA attendees, it doesn’t have to be long but would be good to ensure the network is kept live and in touch with current ongoing matters related to Mental Health and not fall into the trap of just doing the course and letting it subside.”

If you have a cohort of MHFAiders® who would benefit from an MHFA Instructor facilitated supportive ‘MHFAider® Aftercare’ session, please get in touch with us.

Maximum delegate numbers apply.

It’s never too late to confirm the truth and to recognise and understand the impact of it

Nearly 90% of middle-aged and older autistic adults are undiagnosed in the UK, according to a new study by Dr Gavin R. Stewart and Professor Happe Francesca, from the ReSpect Lab at King's College London.

"These very high underdiagnosis estimates suggest that many autistic adults will have never been recognised as being autistic, and will have not been offered the right support. This could make them more susceptible to age-related problems, for example being socially isolated and having poorer health," according to Dr Gavin Stewart.

In addition to health-related outcomes, poorer outcomes were also seen across employment prior to retirement, relationships and quality of life.

What is neurodiversity? Neurodiversity is a relatively new term. It means accepting the idea that it’s perfectly normal for our brains to function in many different ways. And it means accepting all the behavioural traits that result from that huge diversity. A neurodivergent person’s brain funct...
