Why Chose In Bloom for Your MHFA Course
“The course was very eye opening. It made me stop and think about how I’m able to best help myself as well as others.”
Mental Health First Aid in the Workplace
There’s no shortage of people who will be able to facilitate the course for you, which we think is great about Mental Health First Aid; we applaud their vision of training 1 in 10 Australian adults by 2030.
At In Bloom, we will not be the right choice for everyone; we only deliver the course for workplaces. We do this because we come from a background of working in the corporate world, and understand the intricacy of today’s workplace. We think it’s important that your facilitator be able to acknowledge the reality on the ground of your employees, and this is part of the value we bring.
10 Years Experience
For nearly 1 decade we’ve been consulting and helping businesses develop & deliver their wellbeing programs. From this, we’ve gathered insights, benchmarks, and a growing network of advocates for mental health in the first place.
We compliment the course’s structure with our real-life experience, relevant stories, and empathy for the situation of participants. We create an open space with psychological safety were participants can feel comfortable being their authentic self.
Embedded in your wellbeing program
Our clients often tells us, “We don’t want to add one more thing…”. Indeed, workplace wellbeing is often more about removing rather than adding. Certifying your employees with Mental Health First Aid is a decision that must be aligned with your wider wellbeing framework and strategy. We help you think through this and share our perspective and experience from working with dozens of organisations with their mental health awareness and enablement.
Aligning MHFA training as an integral part of your current wellbeing program will increase the benefits participants receive from the course.
We can help you with refresher courses. Many of our clients have also built a manager’s journey to compliment Mental Health First Aid. We would be happy to share more about this with you.
Expert facilitator
Your experience when completing the course will be largely influenced by the guidance, engagement, and expertise provided from your facilitator.
We collect feedback after every course delivered and have been improving participant’s experience since the first course we’ve delivered.
We delivered the course to hundreds of participants with an average rating of 4.6/5.
