Charity Seeking Mental Health First Aiders For Wales

A national charity is looking for people to become trainers in Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) within Wales.

Mind Cymru would like to hear from anyone interested in taking the MHFA (Wales) course which teaches people how to provide initial help and support to anyone experiencing mental health problems.

There are currently more than 10,000 mental health first aiders across the country and the organisation is looking for people to join its existing team of Welsh instructors.

The charity is particularly keen to hear from men, Welsh speakers, people over 50, people from Black Minority Ethnic backgrounds and anyone who considers themselves to be disabled.

Training to become an adult MHFA instructor starts between now and June with the youth courses set to start in June and July.

For further information please read the Could you teach Mental Health First Aid (Wales)? page on the Mind Cymru website or for more details about MHFA please visit the Mental Health First Aid (Wales) website.
