As Jersey’s leading Mental Health Charity, we acknowledge the importance of quality, evidence-based and accredited training initiatives. Mind Jersey has been providing Mental Health First Aid England Training (MHFA) which is endorsed by Public Health England, since 2015.

The training, provided by instructors employed by Mind Jersey, is tailored to fit an Island specific context and underpinned by a deep understanding of Jersey's mental health support services.

Mind Jersey has an exemplary record in delivering the training packages accredited by MHFA England. This includes Adult Mental Health First Aid, MHFA Half Day Aware, Youth Mental Health First Aid, Youth MHFA Half Day Awareness, One Day Champion and the three yearly Refresher Training.

We also offer a range of bespoke awareness sessions including lunch and learn sessions as well as specific sessions tailored to topics such as managing stress, stress at work, depression, well-being, tackling stigma and adolescent mental health.

We believe that training and educating people about mental health helps to reduce the stigma around mental ill health and, in turn, increases people’s willingness to talk about mental health in a positive framework.
