A quote from Laurence Binks at First Bus says: “I took the MHFA training in autumn 2023, and I use the knowledge, awareness, and skills that I learnt almost every day. I found the visual way the course is taught really helped me to understand the importance of non-judgemental listening.” The Association of Mental Health First Aiders logo is below the text and a photo of a family getting on a bus is in a semi-circle from the right edge.)
