Licenced Adult MHFA Courses
Mental Health and Life was founded in order to break down the barriers that stand between people and a happy and contented life in the UK. We see it as our mission to communicate to all members of the UK community – including ethnic minorities, women and other historically marginalized groups – the important role mental health plays in determining their overall quality of life.
As such, we have developed an array of courses that combine outreach and education to open eyes and provide real-world solutions to what may have seemed like insurmountable problems. Our Adult MHFA courses are the perfect starting point for anyone who wants to know more about the link between mental health and happiness.

More Than Just Adult Education: Mental Health Education
How many of us can truthfully claim the ability and confidence to step in, reassure and support a person in distress? As well-meaning as many people are, the number who could actually intervene in a productive way is distressingly small. That’s where we come in. We strive to create courses that enlighten, empower and enable the everyday individual to become an effective mental health first aider.
The ability to influence and affect the wellbeing of another is a powerful one, but in the case of mental health issues, it is not something that people are born with. They must first have at least a rudimentary understanding of mental health as well as the tools necessary to guide a troubled individual toward the comprehensive help they need. That is what our adult mental health first aid course is designed to provide.
Fighting Back Against Fear and Misunderstanding
Every year millions of people the world over take first aid courses so that they might be of some help if another person is injured or suffers a heart attack or other emergency. When they are able to successfully intervene they are rightfully considered heroes and recognised for their quick thinking and effective action.
Yet if someone is experiencing a mental health emergency virtually no one is prepared or qualified to intervene. The culprit lies in age-old superstitions, fears and misunderstandings surrounding the causes of mental ill-health and the factors that can affect it. Our adult mental health first aid courses provide an in-depth understanding of mental health issues as well as practical tools for providing assistance.
Our goal is a simple but important one: to create courses and resources that enable ordinary citizens to intervene during mental health emergencies in the same fearless manner they would intervene if someone were physically injured and in need of first aid.

Mental Health: The Silent Crisis
The mental health situation in the UK is one that has been deteriorating for decades but in recent years has quietly reached crisis proportions. Statistics say that 1 in 3 people in the United Kingdom are likely suffering from some type of mental health condition.
A sad indicator of that disturbing fact is that suicides among female teens are now the highest they have ever been. But it’s not just young women who are succumbing to mental health issues. Men 40-50 actually have the highest suicide rate of any single demographic group. And construction workers are more likely to commit suicide these days than people in any other profession.
It’s time to turn the tide on the issue of mental health in the UK and that is exactly what our Adult MHFA Courses are designed to do.
Our Mission
At Mental Health & Life we understand that we will not be able to fix the entire problem ourselves, but we are determined to get things moving in the right direction with our Adult MHFA Courses, our Adult Mental Health First Aid Courses and our innovative Online Adult Mental Health First Aid courses.
These important courses provide a platform from which to raise awareness of the importance of mental health and to provide real-world practical tools to deal with mental health problems. In addition, we have also launched the Mental Health First Aid Crisis/Chat Line that provides information and assistance to those in need 24 hours a day.
Why Choose Mental Health & Life?
Mental Health & Life was started to help break down societal resistance regarding the discussion and treatment of mental health issues. Our courses are designed to bring the topic of mental health out of the shadows, to cast off the stigma associated with mental health issues, and to provide a more productive framework for dealing with these issues in the real world.
