Psychological First Aid Because Mental Health Matters in the Field 

It’s not just about physical injuries — it’s about the people who keep the team going. 
This one-day Psychological First Aid course explores the link between mental health and behaviour, teaching practical tools to help individuals and groups stay mentally well in challenging, unfamiliar, or high-pressure outdoor environments. 
 
What You’ll Learn 
Participants will gain skills to: 
Recognise early signs of distress in teammates and leaders 
Provide immediate peer support in stressful situations 
Build group resilience and foster a supportive culture 
 
Expedition & Outdoor Focus

Mental Health in the Workplace 
“I recently attended a 2 Day, 16 hour outdoor first aid course. This is the 6th time I have attended this type of course over a period of 18 years. This has been necessary to maintain the validity of my ML qualification and enables me to continue leading as a volunteer for a major walking holiday company. 
 
All previous courses were held mainly indoors with a token offering outside. The majority of this course was held outdoors, on the Ridgeway, in naff weather. The scenarios almost felt real.”
