Celebrating one year of Mental Health First Aid Accreditations

Ingeus’ Learning & Development team are celebrating 12 months of delivering Mental Health First Aid training to our teams.

We’re committed to keeping the conversation around mental health and wellbeing open and active. Our culture is built on inclusivity, and we prioritise ensuring that our colleagues are happy, healthy, and comfortable at work.

Since April 2022, 223 colleagues from all areas of the business have become

MHFAiders, with at least one course a month being made available to staff. Currently, nearly 50 colleagues are signed up to the course from now until the end of July. Well done to all of those who have gained their accreditations so far.

Michail Kyriakou, Restart Advisor in Central and West London said: “The course was invaluable in developing my understanding of mental health conditions and how to respond to emergency mental health situations. The course was brilliantly taught, including a variety of case studies, group discussions, practical tasks and role play. The cohort was highly inclusive and supportive of each other during our learning, especially when past experiences of mental health were shared with the group.”

Tracy Taylor, Team Manager for Work and Health Programme in Cumbria said: “The course gave me a deeper understanding into mental health (particularly around suicide), the inspiration to help others and the knowledge of how to spot the various signs of mental health difficulties and how to intervene.”
