First Aid for mental health

This is our purpose

We believe independent gyms can be more than places to train. They can be communities where people feel heard, supported and connected. Our ambition is to make Mental Health education a normal part of being a personal trainer or strength coach.

Not to turn coaches into therapists, but to give them the knowledge and confidence to recognise when someone may be struggling, start a conversation and signpost them towards appropriate support.

Within our Memorandum we state:

“Securing funding to provide Mental Health First Aid training for strength coaches across the UK, delivered in partnership with local mental health services.”

First Aid for Mental Health Training for Gyms & Fitness Coaches

Stronger Coaches. More Supportive Communities.

Your gym or leisure centre is more than a place to train.

It's a community where people connect, build trust and support one another.

Equip your coaches with the knowledge and confidence to recognise mental health concerns, start supportive conversations and signpost people towards appropriate help.

Together We Lift offers access to the FAA Level 2 Award in First Aid for Mental Health (RQF), delivered by ThinkWorks.
