Mental Health First Aiders are a point of contact if you, or someone you are concerned about, are experiencing a mental health issue or emotional distress. They are not therapists or psychiatrists but they can give you initial support and signpost you to appropriate help if required.

We are happy for staff and learners to contact us whenever needed, they can send us an email or speak to us when they see us at the centres.

Alternatively there is also an online referral form that people can fill in and this form also gives people the opportunity to request an MHFA from another team if they would prefer: https://www.oldham.gov.uk/forms/form/830/en/request_help_from_a_mental_health_first_aider_form
