Mental Health First Aider


The name you know.
The delivery you actually need.

MHFA England is the household name in mental health training.

But a world-class framework is only as good as the person teaching it. We take the official, globally recognised curriculum and supercharge it by putting qualified therapists at the front of the classroom.

Course Introduction

Let’s be honest: a lot of providers treat MHFA England courses like a conveyor belt.

They hand a slide deck to a corporate trainer, read the script, hand you the certificate, and wish you luck.

We think that’s lazy, and frankly, quite dangerous.

When you train with Red Umbrella, you get the exact official MHFA England licensed curriculum, but it’s delivered by elite mental health professionals who deal with psychological crises for a living. They bring real clinical context, real nuance, and actual answers to the room.

Whether you need a quick culture reset or a full army of certified first aiders, we offer all three official formats under one roof, giving your team a badge that commands respect, delivered by people who actually know their stuff.

The Qualification: 

An official, internationally recognised certification of completion from MHFA England. For an additional fee those doing the 2 day course can receive a level 3 qualification.

Unmatched Aftercare:

Because MHFA training can bring up heavy topics, our safety net is always on.

All attendees get direct phone and email access to our expert squad during working hours for ongoing advice. If the training or their role impacts their own mental health, we connect them straight to a qualified therapist for 1-to-1 care, plus exclusive access to our upcoming online peer community.

The Big Takeaway: 

The world’s most recognised mental health certificate, stripped of the script-reading boredom and backed by a clinical safety net.
