Attendees particularly value the practical use of the ALGEE framework, scenarios and discussions, which make difficult mental-health topics approachable and give them confidence to recognise distress and start sensitive conversations with young people. They describe knowledgeable, empathetic trainers who create a relaxed, non-judgemental space, alongside a well-structured blend of self-study, webinars and breakout activities. The handbook and resources support application at work, though some prefer face-to-face delivery.

I work with young people who may be experiencing a range of personal and wellbeing challenges, and the knowledge gained from this course will help me recognise potential signs of mental health difficulties and respond appropriately. The training has increased my confidence in supporting learners, having sensitive conversations, and understanding when and how to signpost individuals to appropriate support services. I will use the MHFA Action Plan as a framework for responding to concerns and ensuring that learners receive the support they need while maintaining appropriate professional boundaries. I believe this learning will be valuable in creating a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment for the young people I work with and will enhance my ability to support their overall wellbeing alongside their learning and development.Read more
The course was engaging, informative. The scenarios and practical activities and using ALGEE were useful. Everything was explained clearly and I fell confident to support someone with the right approach and recognise when a young person may be struggling. Thank you
