DAY 1 Mental Health First Aider Course with Garrett Learning

Mental Health First Aid Training with Garrett Learning

Mental health challenges can affect any of us, at any time and as business owners, employers, colleagues and members of our wider communities, knowing how to respond can make a real difference.

Recognising when someone may be struggling is one thing. Knowing what to say, how to support them and where to direct them for further help is another.

That’s why we’re working in partnership with Wendy Garrett of Garrett Learning to give Women Who members access to Mental Health First Aid training at a significantly reduced rate.

Taking place in person on Monday 19th and Tuesday 20th October at Regus, Kidderminster, this 2 day course will give you the knowledge, practical skills and confidence to recognise the signs of poor mental health, start supportive conversations and help someone access appropriate support.

Exclusive Women Who Member Rate

The course would usually cost £325 per person, but through our partnership with Garrett Learning, Women Who members can book for just £200 — a saving of £125.

Whether you employ a team, work closely with clients and customers, support others through your business, or simply want to feel better equipped when someone around you is struggling, these are skills that can have an impact far beyond the workplace.

To book your place, contact Wendy directly:

Places are limited, so we recommend booking early if you’d like to join us.
