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.

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.”
