Supervising first aid for mental health at Level 6
Supervising First Aid for Mental Health is a two-day FAA Level 6 Award for the people responsible for leading a workplace mental health response. Delegates recognise a wide range of mental health conditions and understand the support and therapy provided by professional healthcare providers. They leave able to start a supportive conversation and signpost people to appropriate professional help. The course builds on the one-day First Aid for Mental Health syllabus with the depth and breadth needed to supervise others and embed a mental health culture across the organisation.
Three steps to a certified team
Pick the course, confirm a date, and we run the training. Every delegate leaves with a certificate - clear booking, clear agenda, no admin chase.
01
In-house delivery for up to 12 delegates
Opus delivers the course at your premises for a maximum of twelve delegates. Running it as a closed session on your site lets us tailor examples and scenarios to your organisation's sector, culture and specific workplace pressures.
02
Theory and scenario-based supervisor practice
The course combines theory with scenario-based practice. Delegates work through the first aid action plan for mental health, explore how to implement a positive mental health culture in the workplace, and practise dispelling stigma around poor mental health. Discussion and case material reflect the responsibilities of a supervisor, not just a responder.
