Mental Health First Aider®
Hello.
We are so excited to be sharing the story of Mental Health First Aider®, Tofe Evans, and how the MHFA™ training has helped him.

About Tofe
Tofe is no stranger to mental ill health. He initially used sleep and substance abuse as a gateway to push past his debilitating inner dialogue. With what Tofe refers to as 'the mailbox moment', this became a calling to take up running to stay physically and mentally fit. Short runs turned into marathons but came crashing to a halt from an identity crisis during a 345km ultramarathon across Scotland. He resorted to the one thing he had been putting off all these years; asking for help. It became the thing that broke the vicious cycle of insecure behavioural tendencies and saved his life. Today, you'll often see Tofe advocating for men's mental health & well-being and referring to his 'Practical Resilience' framework to change the narrative that adversity is serving us. Tofe has applied an MHFA approach to his personal and professional life as a marketer and his experience in podcasting and candidate experience.
