RQF level 1 Awareness of First Aid for Mental Health
Each year approximately 1 in 4 people in the UK will experience a mental health condition and at least 1 in 6 employees experience common mental health problems in the workplace. Research has shown that work is the biggest cause of stress which can stop people performing at their best.

Mental health conditions are often hidden due to stigma and fear of discrimination and research has shown that a culture of fear and silence around mental health is costly to employers. The HSE guidance 'First aid needs assessment’ refers to mental health in the workplace.

This 4-hour qualification provides learners with the knowledge to recognise a range of mental health conditions, how to start a supportive conversation and when and how to signpost a person to seek appropriate professional help. Learners will know how to recognise and manage stress.

Learners will not diagnose or treat mental health conditions as this can only be carried out by healthcare professionals but will gain the knowledge to identify when a person may have a condition and know where they can go to get help.




Suitability - Who should attend?
Here are some examples of who may benefit from attending the RQF Level 1 Award in Awareness of First Aid for Mental Health:

Employees and workers: This course is relevant for individuals in any industry who may encounter colleagues or clients experiencing mental health difficulties. It can be particularly valuable for human resources personnel, line managers, supervisors, or team leaders responsible for the well-being of employees.
Teachers and educators: Professionals working in schools, colleges, or other educational institutions can benefit from this training to better understand and support the mental health needs of students.
Healthcare and social care workers: Individuals working in healthcare or social care settings, such as nurses, care assistants, support workers, or counsellors, can enhance their understanding of mental health issues and improve their ability to provide appropriate support.
Community and voluntary workers: People involved in community or voluntary organizations, including youth workers, social workers, volunteers, or community leaders, can gain valuable insights into mental health awareness and support.
Personal relationships and caregivers: The Level 1 training can also be beneficial for individuals who have personal relationships with someone experiencing mental health challenges. This may include family members, friends, or caregivers who want to enhance their understanding and offer appropriate assistance.

It is important to note that the Level 1 Award in Awareness of First Aid for Mental Health RQF is an introductory course and does not qualify participants to provide formal mental health interventions or therapy. However, it serves as a foundation for further training and can contribute to creating a more mentally healthy and supportive environment in various settings.




Outcome / Qualification etc.
Upon successful completion of the RQF Level 1 Awareness of First Aid for Mental Health course, participants can expect to achieve the following outcomes:

Increased Awareness and Understanding: Participants will develop a basic awareness and understanding of mental health and mental health issues. They will gain knowledge about common mental health conditions, their signs and symptoms, and the importance of mental health in overall well-being.
Recognition of Mental Health Signs: Participants will learn to recognize common signs of mental health issues in themselves and others. They will gain an understanding of the importance of early identification and intervention in promoting mental health and seeking appropriate support.
Reduced Stigma and Improved Attitudes: The course aims to challenge stigmas and stereotypes associated with mental health. Participants will develop a more empathetic and supportive attitude towards individuals experiencing mental health challenges, promoting a positive and inclusive environment.
Enhanced Communication Skills: Participants will learn basic communication skills for engaging with individuals experiencing mental health issues. They will gain an understanding of the importance of active listening, empathy, and non-judgmental communication in providing initial support.
Signposting and Seeking Help: Participants will be equipped with knowledge about available resources, services, and support networks for mental health. They will learn about signposting individuals to appropriate professional help and self-help resources.
Self-Care and Well-being Strategies: The course may provide participants with practical strategies for maintaining their own mental well-being. They may learn basic self-care techniques and stress management strategies to support their own mental health.
Certificate of Completion: Upon successful completion of the course, participants will receive a certificate indicating their achievement of the RQF Level 1 Awareness of First Aid for Mental Health qualification.

It's important to note that the Level 1 course provides a basic introduction to mental health awareness and first aid. It is not intended to provide participants with the qualifications or skills to diagnose or treat mental health conditions. Instead, it aims to promote mental health literacy, reduce stigma, and provide individuals with the knowledge to offer initial support and signposting to individuals in need.

The Level 1 course can serve as a foundation for further learning and progression in the field of mental health. Individuals may choose to pursue higher-level courses or qualifications to develop more advanced skills and knowledge in mental health first aid or other related areas.

Continuing Studies
After completing the RQF Level 1 Awareness of First Aid for Mental Health course, individuals can consider various progression options to further their knowledge and skills in mental health support. Here are some potential pathways:
RQF Level 2 Award in First Aid for Mental Health: This qualification builds upon the knowledge gained in the Level 1 course and provides a more comprehensive understanding of mental health issues and how to provide appropriate support. It covers topics such as recognizing mental health conditions, promoting well-being, and providing initial support to those in crisis.
RQF Level 3 Award in Supervising First Aid for Mental Health: For individuals who aspire to take on leadership or supervisory roles in mental health support, the Level 3 qualification is a logical progression. It provides in-depth knowledge and skills to supervise and manage a team of individuals providing first aid for mental health.
Continued Professional Development (CPD): Engaging in ongoing CPD activities is essential for staying updated with the latest developments in mental health support. Individuals can attend workshops, seminars, or conferences related to mental health, trauma, or specific areas of interest within the field.
Applied Practice: Applying the knowledge gained from the Level 1 course in real-world settings is crucial for developing practical skills. Individuals can seek opportunities to work or volunteer in environments where mental health support is needed, such as community organizations, schools, or helplines.
Mental Health Support Training Programs: There are various specialized training programs available that focus on specific aspects of mental health support, such as suicide prevention, trauma-informed care, or supporting individuals with specific mental health conditions. These programs can provide individuals with additional expertise and deepen their understanding of specific areas within mental health support.
Higher Education: Individuals who wish to pursue a more in-depth study of mental health can consider higher education programs in psychology, counseling, social work, or related fields. These programs provide comprehensive knowledge and training in mental health support and may lead to professional certifications or degrees.

It's important for individuals to research and explore progression options that align with their specific career goals, interests, and local requirements. Different countries or regions may have varying certification or training requirements for mental health support roles, so it's advisable to check with relevant regulatory bodies or professional associations for specific guidance.

What previous participant said about the course:
"For me, coaching with Rachel has been literally life-changing. When I first contacted Rachel I only expected to find out if dating was viable for someone as socially anxious as me and maybe a little help with my dating profile. What ended up happening transformed not just my beliefs about romantic relationships but about myself, emotions and all my other relationships. And throughout I have found her to be unceasingly gentle, patient and kind.
If a past version of myself read the above it would probably put him off. I would tell him: Rachel will not judge those parts of you that you might be a bit embarrassed about, and not only is she a lovely, friendly person, she is also as evidence-based as a dating coach can get. The worst thing that could happen is you lose a bit of time and money. But the best thing could be that she helps you find someone to spend the rest of your life with. So, if you’re thinking about contacting Rachel, stop procrastinating and go for it!” (Nick, 29)
"I really enjoyed the course. There were plenty of questions and purposeful advice that helped me to reflect on how I approached dates." (Simon, 35)
"I've really enjoyed attending this workshop. Every session has been thought provoking and I have really enjoyed the discussions and the many different perspectives and experiences discussed. The environment felt warm and inviting which allowed me to be vulnerable. Rachel's warm personality was a great help especially in the beginning stages of getting to know everyone. Rachel was very insightful. If you don't know where to begin in the dating world, this workshop is for you." (Lisa, 37) 
"I've learned a lot from Rachel's workshop and it's been great to have a safe and supportive space to talk about some of my challenges in dating. Rachel's a very empathetic and open dating coach. I'd recommend this workshop for anyone looking for a top level introduction to improving their dating habits and prospects." (Isioma, 41)
"Having already had a few 1:1 dating coaching sessions with Rachel, I was keen to take part in the group course in order to have more interaction with others who have also been struggling on this journey and learning from their experiences. I realised that the group sessions would also have a slightly different approach to the 1:1s and thought this could be beneficial to me. I really enjoyed the group course! Rachel's extensive knowledge, from her coaching and research, is evident in the sessions. They were carefully planned and developed but also she managed to personalise them and respond to slightly more individual needs or questions within the group once the sessions were under way. Rachel provided good materials to download as part of the course, in addition to the use of her 'Dating Workbook' as part of the tools for the sessions. I have found these very helpful and the Dating Workbook is great for both guided and independent use. The topics covered in both the group sessions and the Workbook are helpful and it has been good to remind myself about 'who I am', in order to be able to put that forward to potential dates - especially as I feel I am quite a different person now that I am almost 20 years older than when I last dated! Equally useful for me has been working out my 'deal-breakers' and 'deal-makers' to help me be more focussed and intentional with my dates. I look forward to putting these tools and experiences into practice, as well as the sessions from Part 2 of the course, on my next dates and using the Workbook to reflect on how I am progressing towards finding my next relationship. Thank you, Rachel, for all your guidance and support!" (Zosia, 46)
"I have been attending Rachel’s seminars since 2017. Healthy Dating though was my first course. I like that Rachel blends academic knowledge and practical skills in her teaching, whilst also drawing upon learners’ own experiences. There are a number of resources shared and (optional) homework. Even though I consider myself to be quite well versed when it comes to contemporary dating and relationship skills, I still enjoyed the course and learnt some new things." (Richard, 47)
"I thoroughly enjoyed the healthy dating sessions. Initially I was slightly apprehensive as I am quite shy and introverted, however the sessions were very relaxed. Each session offered the opportunity to ask questions and discuss topics with other course members, although there is no pressure to do so. After each session homework was set to help reflect on what we had learnt. As a result I feel more empowered and confident as I start dating again." (Joe, 47) 
"It’s been good to challenge myself to do a course that involves opening up a bit about things I’d tend to keep hidden and not discuss. Definitely ‘outside my comfort zone’ discussing feelings and experiences of dating. But it’s been good to share experiences with others in a supportive atmosphere. The course contents is comprehensive and well-structured and there's no pressure to contribute any more than you feel comfortable." (Pete, 58)
"This kind of group was a real find. I found the mini-course very helpful by giving me space to think about important dating questions. The guys in the group were great. They were willing to share their experiences and wisdom and hearing from such nice open people in the same boat as me was very therapeutic and helpful. Rachel is a very organized, informative, involved, and gentle mediator and a very wise, informed, empathic guide. Many thanks, Rachel!" (Sarah, 67)
