Course Overview

Stay ready to support young people

Keep your Youth Mental Health First Aid skills up to date with our Youth MHFA Refresher Course – recommended every three years. This four-hour course will renew your skills, update your knowledge, and give you time to practice applying the MHFA Action Plan, so you’re always confident and prepared to support young people aged 8 to 18.

Whether you live with, work with, or support young people, this course keeps you:

  • Motivated to make a difference
  • Empowered to step in
  • Confident to act when it matters most
  • Just like physical first aid, refreshing your MHFA skills shows real commitment to building a mentally healthy environment for young people.

What you’ll get
After completing the course, you’ll:

  • Be certified for another three years

  • Receive a Learner Workbook and online access to the Youth MHFA Course Manual

  • Get a digital certificate

  • Be invited to join (or continue with) the Association of Mental Health First Aiders—England’s first and only membership body for MHFAiders​

 

Support that goes beyond the course

When you undertake an MHFA England course, you’re not just ticking a box. You’re joining a national movement, with ongoing support and resources through the Association of Mental Health First Aiders – helping you stay confident, capable, and connected long after the course ends.

Continuing your membership with the Association of Mental Health First Aiders, as a Youth MHFAider you will have access to:

  • The MHFAider Support App® – Features include a 24/7 text support service, signposting to a national database of health services, and insights that teach critical self-care skills
  • The MHFA England Online Learning Hub – Includes course manuals and Youth MHFAider® guides
  • First-hand insights – Learn from real people sharing their honest and lived experiences of mental health conditions
  • Online networking – Invites to exclusive quarterly webinars to help your Youth MHFAiders carry out their role with confidence, skill, and care
  • Monthly newsletters – Your Youth MHFAiders will be kept up to date with all the latest news from our mental health community
  • This means you can have the peace of mind that you have everything you need to feel comfortable, capable, and confident in your role—every step of the way.

Terms & Conditions

Please advise us in advance if the learner(s) has any special requirements that require reasonable adjustments to be made for the course to be accessible.

Where a course provides lunch and refreshments, this includes dietary requirements (open face-to-face courses only). We will endeavour to cater for all learner needs but we do require notification in advance.

Learners are required to arrive at the course in good time. If the learner is unable to attend on the day of training due to unforeseen circumstances, we will still apply a charge, as we still incur costs for the training provision, and will not be able to offer the place to another client.

Cancellations

Mind Matters reserves the right to cancel or alter the dates or provision of service, the venue (open face-to-face courses only), and the trainer providing the course. In the event of a cancellation, bookings will normally be transferred to the next available course unless the client specifically requests otherwise. As this is the case, we recommend you DO NOT book travel or accommodation until you receive our joining instructions (around 1-2 weeks before the start date), which confirms the training is going ahead.

If a booking is cancelled or transferred to a different course by the client, Mind Matters Training reserves the right to apply the following charges: Notice Given by Client % of course fee levied by Mind Matters

More than 15 days 0%

7-14 days 25%

3‐7 days 50%

2 days or less 100%

Non‐attendance without notice 100%

Telephone cancellations can be accepted but must be confirmed immediately in writing (by email).

Payments

Please ensure that payment is received within 30 days of the invoice &/or before the training/event – whichever is sooner.
Training certificates will not be dispatched until full payment is received.

Lunch & Refreshments

For full day face-to-face open courses, lunch and refreshments are provided to learners. If your course is being delivered in-house, this is something you may wish to provide the learners at a cost to your organisation.

Please advise us in advance if delegate(s) have any special dietary requirements, any disabilities that would impact upon the course or any communication barriers that would impact upon the training course. We will endeavour to cater for everyone but we do require notification in advance.

Delegates are required to arrive at the course in good time. If the delegate is unable to attend on the day of training due to unforeseen circumstances we will still have to charge you as we still incur the costs and will not be able to sell the place to another client.
