- Job Centres

- Workplace learning - including job centres, police, care staff. Mental health impacts on staff attendance so this may be a welcome offer to managers. Working people are often unable to attend courses so this would be a way of accessing a marginalised group who are possibly suffering from mild to moderate mental ill health.

- Pain management clinics - there is a link between chronic conditions and mental ill health

- Oncology departments - MHFE courses could help treat the anxiety and depression associated with cancer

- Hospices

- Homestart

- Family Learningi

-Mother and baby clinics

- Health visitors
