Promoting the importance of mental health support and encouraging more organisations to put mental health first.
Anne Beckett-Allen and Lucy Coote, Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) trainers at Rosedale Funeral Home, are proud to celebrate MHFAider Day 2026, recognising the important contribution made by Mental Health First Aiders in workplaces and communities across the country.
Both Anne and Lucy are accredited Mental Health First Aid England trainers, delivering the two-day Adult Mental Health First Aid course, as well as refresher training for qualified Mental Health First Aiders. Refresher training is recommended every three years to help individuals maintain their knowledge, skills and confidence.
They are both passionate about delivering this training and believe it has never been more important. With so many people experiencing poor mental health, having someone who can recognise the signs, offer support and guide someone towards appropriate help can make a real difference.
Anne and Lucy firmly believe that every organisation should have as many Mental Health First Aiders as it has Physical First Aiders. Just as we recognise the importance of responding to physical injuries and emergencies, we should give the same attention and consideration to people’s mental wellbeing.
MHFAider Day is an opportunity to celebrate those who have completed their training and continue to support others, while also raising awareness of the importance of looking after the wellbeing of Mental Health First Aiders themselves.
Anne and Lucy would love to see more organisations taking positive steps towards creating mentally healthier workplaces by investing in Mental Health First Aid training and ensuring their employees feel supported.
