We turning people into heroes!
We’re on a mission to create equal numbers of Mental Wellbeing First Aiders to First Aiders in the workplace. Trained in a way that gives them confidence, not just competence.
Believing in the power of education, our ambition is to see parity of esteem between physical and mental health.
Our mission is simple, we create heroes-on-standby!
A real person, who in the face of adversity, steps up to make a difference with knowledge, courage and confidence.
Our suite of Mental Health First Aid training courses (Fundamental Wellbeing Training) will minimise the impact of mental ill-health in your workplace. We guarantee that everyone who trains with us will leave confident to take action.
Why choose Fundamental Wellbeing Training?
- You will learn a practical action plan to help guide someone, offer support and look after your own mental health. We put a large emphasis on providing ongoing support, nurturing wellbeing and self-care.
- Our courses are inclusive and do not put a barrier to helping children and young people with their mental health.
- Courses have a relaxed, fun, workshop feeling, so that everyone is comfortable. We believe that people learn better that way.
- The Fundamental suite of courses is all about having genuine empathy for others and helping individuals recognise ‘alarm bells’ to help prevent illness or decline in wellbeing.
- Our courses are all about increasing confidence, not just competence. In fact, we guarantee it! (or we will refund and retrain)

Training for a healthy organisation
What are the stats?
- Poor mental health accounts for more than half of all work-related illnesses, including 51% of long-term sick leave.
- An estimated 17 million work days were lost in the UK in 2021/22 due to stress, depression, or anxiety.
(HSE: Work-related stress, anxiety or depression statistics in Great Britain, 2022).
- According to a report by Deloitte in 2023, 64% of managers considered quitting for a job that would better support their wellbeing.
- Mental health issues can have a substantial impact on productivity. The Centre for Mental Health estimates that poor mental health costs UK employers up to £45 billion annually due to reduced productivity.
Online or Face-to-Face mental health training
The demand for mental health training is increasing as more organisations develop wellbeing strategies that focus on their people.
Mental health charity MIND found that over 60% of people said their mental health worsened during the pandemic, and 96% of HR leaders reported that employee experience became much more important as a result.
Organisations are now looking at how best to support employee mental health and promote a culture of positive wellbeing.
How can we help?
With online or face-to-face training, we can bring teams together – whether they’re working remotely or across different locations.
We’ll work with you to find the right course for your organisation, whether it’s our Fundamental Wellbeing Training or a bespoke programme tailored to your policies and culture. Our goal is to ensure training is embedded in a way that makes a real difference for your people.
A Mental Health First Aider’s Story
“How to summarise the last couple of days? I have been on a journey of huge proportions. Gaining insight to the deepest parts of some ‘regular’ and ‘ordinary’ people; expanding my knowledge and avid interest in the subject of mental health; expressing myself in an incredibly candid and cathartic manner… I wholeheartedly underestimated the impact the Mental Health First Aid course could have on me. My faith in humanity, and the generosity in spirit of strangers, has taken a leap of restoration. I could not be more moved or grateful. And I implore anyone and everyone to take advantage of this life changing journey to enlightenment, courtesy of SkillBase First Aid.”
