Think Mental Health Ltd: Ongoing Support for MHFA's

At Think Mental Health Ltd , we strive to go beyond what is expected of our accredited courses, as we know that theory is not always represented in practice. We have recognised the need for MHFA’s to have a deeper understanding on what is, and is not, expected of them in their role. We have collated feedback from current MHFA’s, HR teams and employers on the challenges their MHFA’s have been experiencing. We recognise that three years is a long time in between refreshers. MHFA’s often don’t know how they are going to feel in the supporting role until they are qualified, which is when questions arise - this is the main reason that TMH offer ongoing support to MHFA’s, after qualification. The course introduces a framework which has been mindfully created to share with our partners to support their employees. The framework highlights a set of core principles which clearly outlines the remit of the role focusing on boundaries, and prioritises the safety of all. This is an interactive session which reminds MHFA that they are a team within a team, and supports their continued development. The feedback so far has been better than we could have imagined. MHFA’s and HR teams have reported that their concerns have reduced, with increased clarity and confidence. If your MHFA’s require further understanding and guidance around the remit of their role, please drop us a message. This course can also be booked in addition to our MHFA level 3 course to offer further learning. Georgia Mennell #Education #Support #Clarity #ThinkMentalHealth
