MHFA for Teens
Review from Porth Community School - Head of Health and Wellbeing:
"After implementing the Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) course at Porth Community School, I am pleased to share some valuable insights into its impact on our students.The range of mental health issues covered in the course was exceptionally beneficial for our students. They appreciated the reassurance that they were not expected to solve others' struggles but rather to help find support. Additionally, the opportunity for students to brainstorm and implement ideas around the school was met with enthusiasm. I particularly admired how the course equipped students with the knowledge and confidence to put these ideas into action. Moving forward, I plan to incorporate the concepts covered in the course into my teaching by including information on different types of mental illnesses and working with students to implement their ideas around the school.
Feedback from our students regarding the course has been overwhelmingly positive. They have expressed increased confidence in supporting others and have learned valuable skills they were not previously aware of. It's inspiring to see students taking proactive steps to improve provisions for their peers, demonstrating the lasting impact of the MHFA program. Thank you for the opportunity to share our experience with the MHFA course. It has been instrumental in promoting mental health awareness and support within our school community."
