Why Public MHFA Courses Might Not Be the Best Fit
While public Mental Health First Aid courses offer valuable training, they’re not always the right solution for every business. Here’s why a private course might serve your team better.
Lack of Team Connection
Public courses mix people from different organisations, limiting the opportunity for your team to bond, share experiences, and build trust with one another.
One-size-fits-all content
The training can’t be tailored to your company’s specific culture, challenges, or resources, making it harder to apply the learning directly in your workplace.
Less Control Over Logistics
With public training, you’re tied to someone else’s schedule and location. This can be disruptive, especially if you're sending multiple employees at different times.
Trainees Not Guaranteed
Places are limited and open to everyone, meaning you can’t control who attends or guarantee a balanced mix across teams, departments, and management levels.
Reduced Impact on Culture
When individuals attend separately, it becomes harder to create a consistent approach to mental health support across the organisation, the ripple effect is diminished.
Why Choose a Private Mental Health First Aid Course?
Investing in an in-house MHFA course builds a stronger, more supportive workplace culture.
Unlike public courses, private training brings your team together to learn, grow, and support one another in a shared environment.
Build Trust and Team Cohesion
Training as a group gives your team a shared language and consistent understanding of mental health. It encourages open conversations, builds trust, and creates a safe, supportive culture.
Customised to Your Workplace
Private courses can be tailored to your company’s specific needs, policies, and resources like your EAP. The training is practical, relevant, and ready to apply in your day-to-day environment.
Flexible and Cost-Effective
Choose a schedule and format that works for you—online or in-person. Private training is often more affordable per person and minimises disruption while giving you full control over who is trained.
Show You’re Serious About Wellbeing
Offering dedicated mental health training shows your team you genuinely care. It boosts morale, supports retention, and positions you as a progressive, people-first employer.
