First Aid & Mental Health Training That Sticks.
Welcome to RESPOND HQ
We’re not your average training company.
We’re a bold, expert-led team delivering First Aid, Mental Health, and Workplace Safety training that actually sticks.
Founded by siblings with over two decades of combined frontline experience across nursing, public health, mental health, military service, and the ambulance service, RESPOND HQ was created because we’ve lived the reality of crisis — and we know what works when things go wrong.
From hospital wards to active-duty deployments, emergency scenes to boardrooms, we’ve seen firsthand how the right training can save lives — and how the wrong training leaves people frozen.
At RESPOND, we teach people to respond — not panic, not shut down, not walk away.
We equip teams with the skills, confidence, and clarity to take action in the moments that matter — whether it’s CPR, a panic attack, or burnout on the job.
We don’t do fluff.
We don’t do tick-boxes.
We deliver bold, practical, and trauma-informed training that meets the real needs of real people.
Part of the Mensah Wellbeing Group, we’ve reimagined what it means to be prepared — not just for emergencies, but for real life, real stress, and real workplaces.

F.A.Q's
💬 “What kind of training do you actually offer?”
We deliver bold, practical training in First Aid, Mental Health, and Workplace Wellbeing — including Emergency First Aid at Work, Paediatric First Aid, Mental Health Awareness, and bespoke sessions tailored to your team.
💬 “Is your training accredited?”
Yes — our courses meet all required legal standards (like HSE and Ofsted compliance). If your workplace needs certification, you’ll get it. If you need something bespoke, we can build it.
💬 “We’re a small team. Can we still book you?”
Absolutely. We love small teams! Whether there are 3 of you or 30, we’ll make sure you get engaging, relevant, high-impact training — no death-by-PowerPoint, guaranteed.

💬 “What makes RespondHQ different from all the other training companies?”
Short answer? We actually care.
Longer answer: We’ve been on the frontline — in the NHS, the ambulance service, the military, and public health. We don’t just teach theory; we teach what actually works. Our sessions are trauma-informed, neurodivergent-friendly, and built for real people, not robots.

You bet. Our consultancy service can help you assess risks, review policies, boost team resilience, and create a culture that supports both safety and sanity.
💬 “How much does it cost?”
We offer fair, transparent pricing — and we tailor packages to your team size and needs. Just drop us a message and we’ll get you a quote, fast and fuss-free.
💬 “What if someone’s nervous or has extra needs?”
We get it — and we’ve got you. Our training is trauma-informed, neurodivergent-aware, and led by people who’ve worked in mental health and emergency services. No pressure, no judgment — just support.
