Wednesday 12th November marks the very first MHFAider® Day, a nationwide celebration of the people at the heart of mental health support in workplaces and communities across England.

For employers, MHFAider Day is a chance to demonstrate that mental health isn’t just a policy, it’s part of the culture.

Every MHFAider represents a personal commitment to supporting others, often alongside their regular role. They rarely seek recognition, but they truly deserve it.

Find out more about the upcoming MHFAider Day: https://brnw.ch/21wXdDV

If your company would like to enrol team members into Oakleaf Enterprise Jan/Feb MHFAiders course delivered by MHFA England please contact or email ChrisCrooker@Oakleaf-Enterprise.org

MHFAider® Day is England’s first-ever national celebration of Mental Health First Aiders – the people having life-changing and life-saving conversations every day.
