• Confidence to provide initial support to someone in mental distress
• A better understanding of common mental health conditions
• A Public Health Scotland Certificate of Attendance

• New tools and knowledge to support colleagues, friends, family, and community members

The five key aims of Scotland’s Mental Health First Aid (SMHFA) training are:
• To preserve life
• To provide initial help
• To prevent the problem from worsening
• To promote recovery of good mental health
• To provide comfort to those in distress
