Confident, compassionate conversations
Notice early signs, ask open questions, listen well and agree next steps that keep people safe. Practise plain-language prompts and healthy boundaries.
Safe action in real situations
Use a simple action plan, know when to involve a manager or HR, and signpost to internal and community support. Focus on workload, environment and support options.

Apply your skills to everyday interactions, reduce stigma and encourage healthier ways of working. Influence change from your role, whatever your job title.

Build a culture of care, one conversation at a time
Every check-in shows that help is close and judgement is not. You’ll model healthy boundaries, share support options and encourage earlier conversations. Over time, that steadies relationships, strengthens teams and makes work kinder for everyone.
Early support protects people and budgets. Investing in mental health reduces absence, turnover and risk, and helps teams work better together.
Community support
Learn with support that lasts
After your 1 to 1 sessions, you keep access to resources and optional drop-ins. Connect with others taking the course and share what works in real workplaces.
I would recommend MHScot to people who need an overview of what mental health is and how to approach the topic with friends, colleagues and family.

How long does the course take?
Learn at your pace with self-study on our platform, plus two guided sessions and one assessment, completed within a three-week period. Session dates are agreed with your facilitator.
How is the training delivered?
Online. You’ll use our learning hub for self-study and meet your facilitator 1 to 1 on Zoom. It’s personal, practical and confidential.
Is it accredited?
Yes. You’ll earn a UK-recognised RQF or SCQF Mental Health First Aid qualification and a digital certificate you can share with employers.
Do I need any prior experience?
No formal experience is required. You do need to be willing and able to have a respectful conversation about mental health. If you are unsure, use our Mental Health First Aider Self-Assessment to check your readiness. We teach the skills and practise them together, but if you cannot hold these conversations at all right now, this qualification is not the best fit yet.
How do payments work?
Choose a one-time payment of £360 or £120 × 3 instalments. If your employer is paying, we can invoice them.
What if I need to reschedule?
Life happens. We’ll work with you to rearrange within the three-week period. Please give as much notice as you can.
