Our mental health courses are accredited by the FAA, and the certificate issued runs for three years, with recognition from the HSE, Ofsted and the DfE. The syllabus is built on a first aid basis: identify, listen without judgement, assess risk, signpost, then hand over. Delegates work through the stress continuum, common presentations including anxiety, depression, self-harm and suicidal thoughts, and the practical boundary between a first aider and a clinician. Group discussion and scenario work carry most of the learning time, because confidence in a real conversation comes from having had a rehearsed one first. **Book First Aid for Mental Health in Slough with Aim2Aid First Aid and Fire Safety Training and we will bring an in-house trainer to your own site, with blended online theory available if your shifts are tight.** [Call Now: 07771 680794](tel:07771680794) ## Course Dates, Availability, and Booking Dates are set around your operation rather than a published timetable. Because all training is delivered at your own premises in Slough, the booking sequence is short and it runs in this order: - Call 07771 680794 or enquire and tell us the course level, delegate numbers and the site address. - We confirm the room requirement: a space that seats the group with room to work in small pairs. - We agree a date and confirm the trainer, who is one of our in-house team. - Delegate names are collected in advance for the certificates. - Certificates are issued after the course and carry a three-year validity. If you are searching for mental health first aid training close to home in Slough, our base at 70 Fountain Gardens in Windsor puts a trainer a short drive from the Trading Estate, Langley or Cippenham. Aim2Aid Ltd is registered in England, company number 16319053, and the reviews page on the site carries comments from organisations we have trained. ## Workplace and Group Training Options Group bookings suit employers who want a consistent internal standard rather than a scatter of individual qualifications. We deliver [mental health first aid training for your staff](https://www.aim2aid.co.uk/first-aid-training/first-aid-for-mental-health-training/) on your own site, which keeps travel time and lost hours down. A closed group also lets the trainer use your own reporting lines, occupational health route and employee assistance provision as the signposting examples, so the learning transfers directly to the workplace. Typical group arrangements include: - A single cohort covering one shift or department, taught in one visit. - Repeat visits to cover shift patterns on larger industrial sites. - Mental health cover paired with first aid at work refreshers across the same week, keeping both sets of certificates in step. Slough Trading Estate began in 1920 and is described as the biggest single-ownership trading estate in Europe, so the concentration of industrial and commercial premises in the town means many employers are managing both physical and psychological risk across large workforces. Our first aid courses, accredited by the FAIB, now include life-threatening bleed control on every course. ## Who the Course Is For for Slough Homes The course is written for complete beginners. No clinical background is needed and there is no written exam, assessment is continuous through participation and scenario work. It fits managers and supervisors, HR and people teams, school and nursery staff, wardens and housing officers, and community volunteers. That last group matters locally: Slough's housing expanded in waves, with small council estates from the 1920s in Chalvey, Salt Hill and Upton, then larger post-war estates in Britwell and Langley built for London families displaced by bombing, and from the 1930s increasing numbers of flats on the Baylis and Salt Hill estates. Community and residents' organisations working across that dense estate housing often want a named person trained to spot and respond to poor mental health. ## Course Format and Delivery Delivery is instructor-led and face to face at your premises, with a delegate cap that keeps discussion workable. Blended delivery is available as an option on our courses: the theory is completed online beforehand and the group session at your venue is then given over to conversation practice, risk assessment and signposting, with the same three-year certificate and the same accreditation as the fully classroom route. For comparison, Emergency First Aid at Work runs as one day, about six hours, for up to 12 delegates, with a three-year certificate. Rebecca Sullivan leads the training team, and every trainer is in-house rather than outsourced, so the person who arrives at your site is accountable to us. Between them the team holds over 50 years of combined experience. Rebecca does not deliver every session herself, but she sets the standard each trainer works to and answers the phone when you want to talk the course through. Employers with statutory first aid duties alongside this training will find the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidance on first aid a useful reference point. **Book First Aid for Mental Health in Slough with Aim2Aid First Aid and Fire Safety Training and we will bring an in-house trainer to your own site, with blended online theory available if your shifts are tight.** [Call Now: 07771 680794](tel:07771680794) ## First Aid for Mental Health in Slough FAQs ### Is the course officially accredited, and how long does the certificate last?
