1st Aid Mental Health Champion

CPD Accredited | CPD Hours: 7.5 | Live Online/Face to Face

Equip Yourself to Recognise, Respond and Reassure

Our 1st Aid Mental Health Champion course is an interactive and empowering one-day programme designed to give you a deep understanding of mental health and your role in supporting it. You’ll gain the knowledge to recognise early signs of mental health concerns, understand their impact throughout a person’s life, and learn how to offer meaningful, practical support, guiding individuals to the most appropriate professional help.

Your intervention could help someone recover more quickly — and even prevent a crisis from occurring in the first place.

Why Become a 1st Aid Mental Health Champion?

• Spot the signs early – Learn how to recognise stress, anxiety, depression, panic attacks, suicidal thoughts, self‑harm, psychosis, OCD, PTSD, eating disorders and more — before they impact someone’s work or life.
• Support with confidence – Develop active listening, empathetic conversation, and safeguarding skills to guide someone toward recovery, without judgement.
• Break stigma – Champion an inclusive workplace culture where people feel safe to speak up. 
• Professional-level certification – Receive your CPD Accredited TT Training Academy certificate.

“Absolutely fantastic training. It was engaging, practical and gave our team real confidence in recognising and responding to mental health concerns. We were so impressed that we have now trained all of our staff, helping us create a workplace where mental health is openly discussed and everyone feels better equipped to support one another.” Jo, Hr Director Law Salons

“A really insightful and in-depth course. I learned so much, and the pace was perfect. The training was engaging, approachable and delivered in such a personable way, which made a real difference. I now feel much more confident supporting others as a result and would highly recommend this course to any organisation.”  Mark, Hertfordshire Timber 

Important Note

It is important to remember that being a 1st Aid Mental Health Champion supports an individual and doesn’t qualify anyone as a therapist. Instead, they are there to nonjudgmentally support an individual; and encourage them to access the professional help available.

1st Aid Mental Health Champion is Quality Checked by the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). This course alone is not a route to the Accredited Register, nor does it fully equip a graduate to practice as a qualified counsellor or refer to themselves as ‘a specialist’ in the subject matter unless they have other qualifications/training to support this.

What a hugely empowering three days. As a  master practitioner and well experienced successful mind wellness specialist nonetheless I always appreciate the value of learning something new to add to my arsenal of tools to improve first of all my life and then those of who I serve. Suzanne and her training did not let me down. It was so refreshing to meet wonderful experience people who were willing to learn more like myself and to enjoy the fruits of a fully  comprehensive three day course. Fantastic value well worth the money! I highly recommend this course.

Advanced EFT training. I felt very comfortable almost immediately due to Suzane’s lovely manner.  Suzanne was very positive so even though I didn’t feel confident initially I quickly grew in my confidence. The demos were great and really helpful. I loved that we got to learn a bit, practise and learn then the next bit. I found that my confidence and competence grew quickly so that by Sunday I was working with both confidence and competence Just loved the training! Thank you Suzanne

I have just finished my EFT Advanced practitioner training. The course was well delivered and clearly explained. Suzanne created a welcoming group with a space fostered to feel safe and comfortable enough to explore personal experiences and ask questions. Plenty of opportunities to practice and ask for reassurance and clarification. Personally I have been able to work through some of my own personal negative beliefs. Professionally I am sure this will help many of my current and future clients and I have the confidence to take this forward.

I recently completed the Menopause Nutrition and wellbeing CPD  course with Suzanne, and it was such an incredible experience. The training was highly informative and Suzanne is professional and still warm and welcoming.

I have now completed the Advanced EFT Training and the Trauma Release Training and both experiences have been amazing. I love the way Suzanne creates a safe informal atmosphere, even online, making her so approachable whilst at the same time provides so much content, knowledge and expertise. There are so many opportunities to practice, ask questions and feedback allowing for a great learning experience. Highlights are always exploring the different techniques and tools, getting the opportunity to observe a demonstration in real time before trying it out yourself. With EFT there is always something for everything - the gift that keeps on giving. You are left with excitement and eager to put into practice what you have learned. The materials provided are easy to understand and instructive so you can revisit this as often as you need. Couldn't recommend highly enough.

Very interesting and enlightening training, building on my experience and knowledge. Suzie was again just amazing in how she delivers the session. The practical demonstrations are very emotional and she deals with the scenarios and situations in a perfect way so the whole group can feel the process. I would definitely recommend this and other training courses delivered by TT Training

I just read a couple of the reviews here which are glowing ✨️ they are true. Sue is a gifted trainer and mentor. Totally dedicated and professional, qualities she inspires in others too . The eft trauma regression and inner child work course was a profound experience i will definitely be incorporating it into my counselling practice.

I recently completed EFT training with Suzanne and it was one of the most powerful and beautifully held learning experiences I’ve had. Suzanne creates such a warm, safe and grounded environment. Her passion for EFT is clear, but what really stands out is how compassionately and steadily she holds the group, especially when vulnerability arises. The training had a great balance of theory and practice, with rich group sharing, plenty of space for questions, and thorough handouts to support continued learning. The regression tapping process was profoundly impactful for me and brought a real sense of closure and integration. I would wholeheartedly recommend this training to anyone wanting to deepen their understanding of EFT in a well-structured and deeply supportive space.
