Trauma-Informed Mental Health First Aid Training

11 June 2026 By EVOC Communications Team

Paths to Potential CIC is delivering an accredited 2-Day Mental Health First Aid course in Edinburgh, hosted at Shore Psychology CIC.

This nationally recognised qualification equips participants with the knowledge, confidence and practical skills to recognise the signs of mental ill health, start supportive conversations, and signpost people towards appropriate help.

What makes this course different is its trauma-informed approach. Delivered by accredited MHFA Instructor Simon King, the training combines professional expertise with lived experience, creating a safe, engaging and highly practical learning environment.

The course is suitable for staff, volunteers, managers, community leaders, charities, social enterprises, schools and organisations looking to strengthen wellbeing, resilience and mental health awareness within their teams and communities.

Participants will gain a recognised qualification, comprehensive course materials, ongoing support and practical tools they can immediately apply in their role.

Dates: Tue 30 June and Wed 1 July 2026

Venue: Shore Psychology CIC, Leith, Edinburgh
