Led by Phil Wheeliker, the Chair of our Board and a Mental Health and Training professional, Unmasked offers an excellent and extremely valuable 2-day course for adults, resulting in an accredited qualification as a Mental Health First Aider.
It is legally required these days to have First Aid in the workplace, but in these modern days, Mental Health First Aid in that workplace is becoming equally critical. Internationally recognised, MHFA is a training course which teaches people to understand and spot the signs and symptoms of mental health.
Having taken the course and passed the examination (not too difficult), you will not only be the proud owner of the professionally recognised Mental Health First Aid qualification, but you will be armed with the skills and knowledge to understand and be able to assist with the Mental Health First Aid support of your colleagues.

Unmasked was initially set up by three friends from Halifax, who battled and overcame personal mental ill health issues. They wanted to give something back! Their goal was simple – to Unmask the stigma surrounding mental ill health, nationwide, and get people talking.
Now, they’ve passed the baton to a new Board of Directors and an Executive Team who are building on their legacy and goals and who are moving forward to make Unmasked a force to be reckoned with in combatting poor mental health in our region.
Our services are accessible to everyone, whether you’re an individual having a rough time, or if you’re an employer looking to give something back and look after your employee’s mental health and well-being.
