Equip

We equip volunteers in sports clubs with skills-based courses to respond early to mental health concerns.

Our trainers are fully accredited Mental Health First Aid instructors. Our courses are based on guidelines developed through the expert consensus of people with lived experience of mental health challenges and mental health professionals.

Evaluations consistently show that Mental Health First Aid training improves a participant’s;

• knowledge of mental health concerns and their treatments,
• appropriate first aid strategies,
• and confidence in providing first aid to individuals experiencing distress or mental health difficulties.

Mental Health First Aid course participants also see decreased stigma and increased help-seeking behaviours in their local contexts after completing their training.
