At LSE, we greatly value the commitment and compassion of our Mental Health First Aider (MHFA) network. You play a vital role in supporting the wellbeing of our community, and we are committed to supporting you in return.
To help you feel connected and confident in your role, termly engagement opportunities are available for all those trained in Mental Health First Aid. These sessions are designed to bring the network together to:
-
Share experiences and learn from one another
-
Refresh knowledge of the ALGEE model and other core skills
-
Explore new topics and resources to enhance your practice
-
Strengthen connections across the MHFA community
Whether you are new to the role or have been supporting colleagues for some time, these sessions provide a chance to pause, reflect, and grow together.
