- Renew their skills.

“A challenging subject delivered with compassion and professionalism. The boundaries clearly and repeatedly articulated to keep us safe was central to the training and much appreciated. New Leaf highly recommended.”

Who should take the MHFA Refresher Course?
This course is for qualified Mental Health First Aiders (who have taken the two-day MHFA England course) and are approaching the 3-year anniversary of passing this course.
MHFA England recommends that all delegates refresh their skills every 3 years, just like a physical first aider would.
Please note, this course is designed specifically for delegates and businesses that are based in England. The resources and guidance refer to public health information that is specific to England. Whilst delegates from other countries can attend, their role should involve supporting delegates based in England.
Scotland and Wales both have separate organisations for MHFA, based on respective national guidelines. For more information, please visit their websites:

What kind of Qualification is this?
This course has been developed by MHFA England, which is part of the worldwide Mental Health First Aid organisation.
MHFA England is the only recognised provider of Mental Health First Aid in England.
Here at New Leaf Health, we have a variety of highly experienced practitioners who have trained as instructors with MHFA England. As such, the course we offer is the official Mental Health First Aid Training Course, licensed by MHFA England.
Upon completion of the course, you will be recognised as a qualified Mental Health First Aider for a period of 3 years. You can continue your qualification by taking a MHFA Refresher Course every 3 years.
How many people can attend the course?
In our open courses, we train up to 25 attendees at a time, all from a range of different organisations. You can book up to 7 places on an open course. If you’ve got 8 or more delegates you’d like to train, it’s usually more cost-effective and efficient to book a private course for your business.
