Mental Health First Aider day – 12th November 2025

This year for the first time we celebrate all those great people who are quietly having life saving conversations every day, These people are Mental Health First Aiders. They provide conversations that matter, actions that count and a compassionate ear when it’s needed most. MHFA England Have created MHFAider Day On Wednesday 12 November 2025.

Why this matters

The event is about shining a light on the impact one person can make when they have the confidence, skill and care to intervene when someone is struggling. Together, these individuals help shape a culture where mental health support becomes the norm.

How we can all join in

The great thing about MHFAider Day is that it gives everyone, organisations, teams, individuals, here are a few ideas of how you can get involved.

• Recognise the MHFAiders in your business. Whether it’s a colleague, friend or team member who has held a safe space for someone else — give public recognition via internal channels, social posts or a thank-you card. The official toolkit from MHFA England offers social media graphics, templates and planning resources to help.
• Share the story. Use the hashtag #MHFAiderDay to post stories of impact how the conversation changes things.
• Refresh and build capability. If you already have MHFAiders in your organisation, consider scheduling a skill-refresh or peer-check-in. Confidence can fade over time; ongoing support strengthens the impact.
• Make it part of your culture. Use the day to define Mental Health within your business, Set goals: Who else could be trained? How can mental wellbeing be embedded in your teams? What environment do we want to create where asking “Are you OK?” is as natural as “How’s the job going?”
