The Mayor of London has launched a programme to ensure that by 2021 every school in London has at least one Youth Mental Health First Aider.
The free two-day youth mental health first aid (MHFA) course for schools provides the skills and confidence to spot the signs of mental health issues in a young person, offer first aid and guide them towards the support they need. More information is included in the Youth MHFA leaflet.
The training will be delivered in Haringey on:
- Friday 7 June and Friday 14 June
- Monday 17 June and Tuesday 18 June
- Thursday 20 June and Friday 21 June
- Thursday 26 September and Thursday 3 October
All training will be held at Hornsey School for Girls from 9am to 5pm. The course will be delivered by trained staff from Haringey Council and Whittington Health NHS Trust and is suitable for primary and secondary school staff working with 8-18 year olds.
To book, please email healthy.schools@haringey.gov.uk stating your date preference, name, role, school and email address. Each school is guaranteed one place on the course, and additional places may be offered depending on availability.
