Background

About Ian Cartwright

My name is Ian Cartwright, and I am based in York. I deliver supportive, informative, and enjoyable mental health first aid training with genuine passion, experience, compassion and empathy. I am an experienced trainer and accredited MHFA Instructor Member, approved by MHFA England to deliver MHFA courses. This membership demonstrates that I meet the quality standards needed to be a Mental Health First Aid Instructor. I successfully completed the only licensed MHFA Instructor training programme in England, accredited by the Royal Society for Public Health. I have lived experience of mental illness having received a diagnosis of depression, anxiety and burnout in the past. I am passionate about supporting people with mental illness and training others to support their friends, family and colleagues. I love walking in the countryside and being in the great outdoors. The fresh air helps me to maintain my own mental wellbeing. Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is the mental health equivalent of a physical first aid course, all Instructor Members are continually quality assured using robust assessment and evaluation measures. In view of our unstable times, the face-to-face courses are delivered in accordance with Government guidelines, COVID-Secure Workplace and MHFA England regulations
